KKR, led by seasoned campaigner Ajinkya Rahane, will look to make a statement right from the start of their title defense. On the other hand, RCB will be under the stewardship of Rajat Patidar, who has been entrusted with the responsibility of leading the franchise as they aim to overcome past disappointments and break their title drought.
The leadership reshuffle is just one of many changes witnessed by both teams following last year’s mega auction in Jeddah. The revamped squads boast a mix of experienced players and promising youngsters, adding an extra layer of excitement to this high-voltage encounter.
One of the most anticipated moments of the match will be seeing Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli back in the T20 format after his retirement from the shortest format following India’s historic T20 World Cup triumph last year. Home fans at Eden Gardens will be eager to witness Kohli’s return, as he continues to represent RCB in the IPL despite stepping away from international T20 cricket.
