KKR vs RCB Highlights: Sunil Narine Special Powers Kolkata To A 4-Wicket Win Over Bangalore At Sharjah

IPL 2021, Match 58, CSK vs RCB: RCB has been knocked out of the tournament while winning team KKR will take on Delhi in second qualifier on Wednesday.

Background

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders Eliminator: Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 14 Eliminator match on Monday. Virat Kohli's strategic skills and Eoin Morgan's experience will be put to the test when RCB, in their quest for their maiden IPL title, lock horns in the Eliminator match on Monday.

RCB reached the final in 2016 under Kohli, who has decided to step down from the captaincy after this season. Apart from this, under his leadership, the team reached the playoffs in 2015 and 2020 and now Kohli would like to take a grand farewell from the captaincy with the title.

On the other hand, Eoin Morgan has a challenge to regain the lost reputation of KKR. The team won the title twice under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir in three years between 2012 and 2014. But since then the team has not been able to reach the final even once.

Even though both the teams are equally strong on paper, but in terms of statistics, KKR have a bit of an upper hand. They have won 15 out of 28 matches played between the two teams. However, RCB are full of confidence after registering a last-ball six against Delhi Capitals in their last league match. They finished third in the points table with 18 points from 14 matches.

RCB Predicted Playing XI: Virat Kohli (captain), Devdutt Padikal, KS Bharat (wk), Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers, Dan Christian, George Garten, Shahbaz Ahmed, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammad Siraj and Harshal Patel.

KKR Predicted Playing XI: Venkatesh Iyer, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan (c), Dinesh Karthik (wk), Andre Russell, Lockie Ferguson, Shivam Mavi, Varun Chakraborty, Sunil Narine
