RCB vs KKR Playing 11: Two blockbuster teams of the IPL Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders will face each other in the first day game of IPL 2021 here at Chennai. Both teams have had contrasting fortunes in their last respective matches. RCB won their last game in which they were cruising to defeat at one point while KKR lost a game in which they were cruising to victory. Over the years, both teams have played 26 games against each other in which RCB has won 12 while 14 have gone KKR’s way. In the last season though, it was RCB who turned the tides on KKR winning both the league fixtures.

Zampa and Kane Richardson will be available for selection while Daniel Sams will also be available after completing his quarantine. Here is how their eleven could be shaped up for this match:

RCB Playing 11 (likely)

V Kohli (C)
D Padikkal
S Ahmed
G Maxwell
A de Villiers (wk)
D Christian
W Sundar
K Jamieson
H Patel
M Siraj
Y Chahal

RCB is now the only team that hasn’t lost a game so far. Maxwell’s form and Harshal Patel’s bowling at the death have been the biggest positives for them so far as the two have made substantial contributions in both the matches. Though skipper Kohli and Chahal’s form hasn’t quite been up to the mark, Bangalore will expect them to regain their form quickly.

All the players are available for selection for KKR but they are unlikely to change their eleven despite losing the last match. Here is how their eleven could be shaped up for this match:

N Rana
S Gill
R Tripathi
E Morgan (C)
D Karthik (wk)
