The 10th match of IPL 2024 will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Both the teams are preparing vigorously for this match. Talking about the past performance of both the teams, RCB had defeated Punjab Kings in their last match. Kolkata has played only one match so far this season where they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
Since RCB and KKR are coming to play this match after winning their previous match, the biggest question is what will be the playing XI of both the teams for this match? Talking about RCB, after losing to CSK in the season opener, they made a great comeback in the next match and defeated Punjab Kings by 4 wickets in a thrilling match.
In that match, Punjab Kings, batting first, scored 176 runs at the loss of six wickets in 20 overs. Mohammad Siraj and Yash Dayal bowled very well in that match. Apart from him, all other bowlers had proved expensive. Alzarri Joseph, who got a chance in the last two matches, has now looked completely ineffective. In such a situation, Reece Topley may get a chance in place of Joseph in the match against KKR.
Talking about RCB’s batting, Virat played a brilliant match-winning inning of 77 runs. But apart from them, Faf du Plessis, Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell could not do anything special. In such a situation, these batsmen will have to perform well in the coming matches.
If we talk about KKR, they have played only one match so far, where all their batsmen except Phil Salt, Rinku Singh and Andre Russell were flops. Talking about bowling, except Sunil Narine and Harshit Rana, all other bowlers proved to be very expensive. In that match, Andre Russell played a very important role with both bat and ball.
Kolkata Knight Riders Playing XI: Philip Salt (wicketkeeper), Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (captain), Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Mitchell Starc, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakraborty.
