Subhabrata Mukherjee : On Monday evening in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2021,Indian T-20 League) Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in what can be termed as a battle between top half of the table with bottom half of the table. Kolkata are in awful form this season to say the least. Midway through the tournament they are yet to find their right combination at the moment.

 

 

Royal Challengers Bangalore is in good form at the moment. In their last match against Punjab Kings they lost very badly.Apart from Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar their famous batting line up failed to deliver. Their bowling attack is doing fine but cause of concern remains with their premier bowler and highest wicket taker Harshal Patel has suddenly lost his bowling form. In the last two matches their bowling unit looked shaky which they would love to address vs KKR.

 

 

 

Kolkata Knight Riders is in ver very bad form to say the least.Their batting order is struggling.Specially the top order and middle order batting looks fragile.Many batsman are out of form it seems. Their bowling attack seems toothless.With the likes of Sunil Narine has lost all his mystery touch is a matter of huge concern. They would love to get back to winning ways vs RCB.
