New Delhi: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Thursday, April 6, encounter at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. RCB led by Faf du Plessis defeated Mumbai Indians (MI) in their first match by 8-wicket. Whereas, KKR suffered 7 runs lost to Punjab Kings (PBKS) by DLS method.

RCB pervious performance

The Royal Challengers squad looked in full control. Skipper Du Plessis and batting stalwart Virat Kohli scored a brilliant half-century and stitched together a 100-plus partnership to give RCB their win of the tournament.

KKR struggle with injury

Meanwhile, injury-prone KKR will hope to bounce back after the shaky start of the tournament. KKR are missing their permanent skipper Shreyas Iyer due to a back injury. As a result, Nitish Rana is leading the Men in Purple.

Eden Garden Pitch report

Eden Gardens will host the IPL matches once again, with the Kolkata Knight Riders playing here for the first time since 2019. The knockout games last year were played on the pitch, but KKR was eliminated from the competition before that. The Eden Gardens is renowned for its batting-friendly pitch and has produced high-scoring T20 matches. In the IPL, the pitch is expected to be competitive. But as the game progresses, it can be very helpful to the bowlers, particularly spinners.
