BLR vs KOL Dream11 Key Players: Locked at 8 points after six rounds, both Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders will be looking to break into top two when they clash against each other in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 season at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Monday evening (IST).
Bangalore are on the right track, or at least they draw confidence from what we have seen so far from them. The 2016 beaten finalists are fourth on the table heading into this match having won four times in six games. But three of those wins came in the last four, which shows the team is in red-hot form at the moment.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), with four wins, have also clocked 8 points after six games. KKR also won three times in the last four games, including a close 2-run win in the last round.
Big Picks:
Virat Kohli: Played a captain’s inning in the last match when his team was in deep waters. Though he was calculative at the start, and he had to, considering RCB lost early wickets, some of the shots the 31-year-old played was just too good to believe. He should be selected either as captain or vice-captain in BLR vs KOL Dream11 Match Prediction.

Shubham Gill: There’s a real hype around the 21-year-old right-handed batsman, and time and time again he has proved that he has a big and a bright future ahead. He played another gem of an inning at the top, scoring 57 runs in 47 balls. Considering the form he is in at the moment, Gill offers some degree of assurances. He should be in BLR vs KOL Dream11 Teams.

Dinesh Karthik: Pressure was mounting on him after a run of under-par performances in the IPL so far. But he erupted with a special inning, and you bet he was real good, looked every bit of the player we know there’s alway been in him. He scored 58 runs off just 29 balls, with 44 of those runs coming in boundaries. He can make a real difference in BLR vs KOL Today Match Prediction grand league teams.

Aaron Finch: RCB have at least locked down one of the opening batting spots with Finch on board. Though he could have better numbers this season, he remains critical in RCB’s set up this season. He definitely holds the key at the top of the order.
IPL Record:
Matches: 80
Total Runs: 1879
Highest Score: 88*
Strike-Rate: 129.72
AB de Villiers: Went for a duck in the last game. He has been nowhere near the level we all know he can consistently hit. Mr 360 degree is a player who RCB needs the most at this moment. He can turn the game on its head in a whiff and will be a prize-wicket for CSK’s bowlers.
