Players to watch out for in RCB vs KKR
Virat Kohli (RCB):
The star batter has again been in rich form in the ongoing season, having scored 379 runs from 11 innings at an average of 42.11 and a strike rate of 163.36. However, Kohli didn’t have memorable outings in the last two fixtures, registering successive ducks. KKR will need to be wary of his threat as a hungry Kohli will be ready to roar again in the upcoming fixture.
Kartik Tyagi (KKR):
The 25-year-old has been a vital cog in KKR’s bowling attack, being their leading wicket taker with 13 scalps from nine innings. On a surface that offered good assistance to seamers in the previous fixture, Tyagi will hold the key for his team to help them get off to a good start with the new ball.
