royal challengers bangalore RCB vs KKR kolkata knight riders live score
Frank Gayle skipped the first two suits due to a painful returning. But he’s predicted to be fit for tomorrow’s activity which indicates more problems for Kolkata. In Gayle’s lack, skipper Virat Kohli (49 not out) and Yuvraj Singh (52 not out) taken over against Delhi, while Parthiv Patel (57 not out) and AB de Villiers (45 not out) did the job against Mumbai. Gayle will also offer an additional go-karting choice with his fastish, flattish off-spin. However, returning from damage, he may not threat moving the arm over so beginning.
Hambhir’s struggles
Kolkata captain is yet to get off the mark this IPL, scoring back to back ducks against Delhi and Mumbai. The left-hander had a par Ranji season, scoring 578 runs in seven matches at 48.16 but disappointed in the Vijay Hazare ODI tournament, making just 127 runs in five matches at 25.40. The struggles of a captain do not bode well for the team, especially considering Gambhir is a top order player. Manish Pandey’s good form (64 against Mumbai and 48 against Delhi) ensured Kolkata post very competitive totals in both their matches. Jacques
Kallis and Robin Uthappa, too, have chipped in.
Surprise package chahal
Vinay Kumar has switched over from Bangaloreto Kolkata this season, and despite having a good Ranji season, it will not come as a big surprises about who leads the Kolkata outfit’s bowling — Sunil Narine. With five wickets in two games 4.75, Narine is once more having a great tournament.
However, Bangalore are not without their own leggie who can pose problems. Yuzvendra Chahal, with three wickets at an economy rate of 4.37, has been a revalation in the two matches he has played so far. That he is an Indian bowler will no doubt help Bangalore maintain their balance too.
