KKR vs RCB - Match preview
After a 10-day break, IPL resumes with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) taking on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on May 17. RCB had a strong start against KKR earlier this season, securing a 7-wicket win.
While RCB lost three games at home earlier in the tournament, they quickly bounced back and regained their dominance at the Chinnaswamy. With playoff qualification within reach, RCB will be keen to capitalize on their recent form and the support of their home crowd.
On the other hand, KKR face an uphill task. Beating a resurgent RCB at their home ground will be challenging, and Kolkata will need to deliver a top-class performance to stay in the playoff hunt.
