The 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is scheduled to begin on 22 March. An exciting match is expected to be played between defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Saturday at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. It will not be easy to save the title for KKR. So far, a team has been able to defend their trophy only twice in IPL history.
In 2011, Chennai Super Kings and in 2020 Mumbai Indians teams landed as defending champions and again captured the title. Now it will be interesting to see whether Kolkata will be able to defend the title this season. Meanwhile, today we will tell you what will be the possible playing XI of both teams for the upcoming match.
The match between two IPL giant teams will be attractive. KKR has stars like Andre Russell, Sunil Naren, Rinku Singh, Varun Chakraborty and Quinton Dickock. At the same time, captain Rajat Patidar, Liam Livingstone, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood are experienced players to support superstar Virat Kohli in RCB. In such a situation, this match between the two teams is going to be quite exciting.
