RCB’s 2023 IPL campaign seems to be on the track but they need to do a little bit in order to reach the playoffs. The Faf Du Plessis-led unit is on a winning run, after a defeat against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the Virat Kohli-starring team has managed to win two consecutive games in a row.
In match number 36 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be squaring off against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a reverse fixture at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 26, 2023, Wednesday. RCB’s 2023 IPL campaign seems to be on the track but they need to do a little bit in order to reach the playoffs. The Faf Du Plessis-led unit is on a winning run, after a defeat against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the Virat Kohli-starring team has managed to win two consecutive games in a row. Their latest win came against Rajasthan Royals. From the start of the 2023 IPL campaign, their top-order batters, especially the likes of Faf Du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell, have been superb with the bat. While as far as their bowlers are concerned, Mohammed Siraj has been the chief destructor. However, if RCB are to enter the playoffs, they need to sort out their middle-order muddle, and bowling woes as no other bowler other than Siraj has managed to perform well with the ball. When it comes down to Kolkata, their 2023 IPL campaign seems to be off the track as the Nitish Rana-led unit has registered a four-match losing streak and is currently placed in the seventh position after recording two wins and five losses out of the seven games played. En route to their losing streak, they have flopped entirely as a unit – be it in terms of batting or bowling. For KKR, the upcoming match provides them with a perfect opportunity to bounce back and regain their form.
