RCB will face KKR in their second match after a dominant win against MI. KKR lost their opening match and will look for redemption.
The match will be held on April 6, 2023, at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Telecasted on Star Sports Network and JioCinema.
Eden Gardens has been historically a great batting track with spinners playing a role later in the innings.
KKR: Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Mandeep Singh, Nitish Rana (c), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Shardul Thakur, Sunil Narine, Tim Southee, Anukul Roy, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy
RCB: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Glenn Maxwell, Michael Bracewell, Shahbaz Ahmed, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Karn Sharma, Harshal Patel, Akash Deep, Reece Topley, Mohammed Siraj
Virat Kohli: Kohli started his IPL 2023 campaign on a high with a sensational knock of 82* off 49 balls.
Mohammed Siraj: Siraj put on a magnificent display of swing bowling with the new ball and will look to give a brilliant start to his side.
