KKR Playing 11 for Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders, Match 36 of IPL 2023; Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips for RCB vs KKR Dream11 Team Prediction

The Kolkata Knight Riders will be traveling to Bangalore to face Royal Challengers Banglore for Match 36 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on 26 April, 2023. Kolkata Knight Riders are coming into this game after suffering four back-to-back losses. It will be really important for the Nitish Rana-led side to make a strong fightback as they have 2 wins from 7 games so far in the tournament.

The Knight Riders’ bowling attack has been one of the weakest in IPL 2023, with only Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine making an impact. Their batting hasn’t clicked either as Nitish Rana, Venkatesh Iyer, and Rinku Singh have performed in bits and pieces. KKR will need to put in a special performance to turn things around.
