Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the early match of the IPL 2021’s first double-header on Sunday (April 18). The two teams come into the match with contrasting starts, meaning RCB vs KKR will be interesting to watch. RCB have won two out of two games and currently sit atop the table. KKR, meanwhile, beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in their opening game but narrowly lost to Mumbai Indians thereafter. The Eoin Morgan-led side will be keen to get back to winning ways. But Virat Kohli & co. will be eager to maintain their unbeaten start.
RCB vs KKR has been an evenly fought contest, more or less. KKR have the slight head-to-head advantage – 14 wins against 12 for RCB. However, both teams are very different in 2021.
