The 9th match of TATA IPL 2023 tournament between KKR vs RCB will be played on April 6 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The match will start at 06:30 PM (IST) and the live telecast of the match will be available on the JIo cinema app and star sports.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers, Two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face a tough challenge from the in-form Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL match on Thursday. Kolkata is struggling to prepare a balanced team due to the absence of its key players, but in this match, it would like to take advantage of the home conditions and return to the winning track. KKR has had a poor start to this season. The team had to lose their opening match to Punjab Kings by seven runs in Mohali.
After almost four years, KKR team will play their home match and during this time team owner Shahrukh Khan can also be present. KKR played their last match at Eden Gardens on April 28, 2019 in which they defeated Mumbai Indians by 34 runs.
On one hand, the poor bowling of KKR remains a matter of concern, on the other hand, stopping RCB's star batsman Virat Kohli and captain Faf Duplessis has become a big challenge for the team. Virat had scored an unbeaten 82 off 49 balls in the last match against Mumbai Indians. At the same time, Faf scored 73 runs in 43 balls. RCB have such a fast bowling attack in the form of Mohammad Siraj, Harshal Patel and Akash Deep that can pile up any batting line-up. All three also know how to take advantage of the conditions at Eden Gardens.
