The opening clash will be between two heavyweights as KKR goes against RCB at the Eden Gardens. The defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders, will be taking up the home-ground advantage in this game and will also aim to start off well to the new season with a dominant win. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, on the other hand, pulled off an impressive comeback in the previous season but lost its two league games against Kolkata.
This match will be available for fans to watch on the JioHotstar, as the game starts at 7:30 PM IST. Both teams will be heading into the new season with numerous squad changes and also changes in their captaincy. Kolkata released its previous captain, Shreyas Iyer, as Ajinkya Rahane was appointed the new captain of the team.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru also released its previous captain, Faf du Plessis, who has now been replaced by Rajat Patidar. Fans are excited for this encounter, as it reminds them of the first IPL season when RCB and KKR clashed in the opener. Brendon McCullum smashed a whopping 158 runs off 73 balls as KKR dominated the game to win by 140 runs.
However, the rivalry between these two teams has been intense over the past few years. It can be seen through instances such as Virat Kohli’s fight with Gautam Gambhir, the controversy in the previous season following Kohli’s wicket against Harshit Rana, and much more.
