Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore have been failing to stand on their feet since the starting of Indian Premier League 2019. They have lost all of their four matches and this takes them to the bottom of the points table.

RCb would find themselves sitting out of the tournament if they don’t change their gears and the style of play to remain alive in the competition. In its 5th match, Royal Challengers Bangalore will square off against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 5 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Virat Kohli would be keen to grab this victory on Friday so that the team get its confidence back. On the other hand, KKR would be feeling worried after losing to Delhi Capitals in the super over. Kolkata Knight Riders will not make a mistake of taking RCB lightly.

KKR vs RCB Preview:
Royal Challengers Bangalore needs to tighten their belts for the upcoming matches to come. How is it possible that a team stuffed with so many talents, yet this team fails to make an impact in the Indian Premier League. It’s hard to digest how a group has never touched the IPL trophy even after a world-class lineup.

RCB played their last match against Rajasthan and had a fair chance to win the game, but we all are aware of RCB’s destiny and lost the opportunity to grab their first win of the season.

Kolkata Knight Riders would be completely relaxed and fit as they are flying for their next match after almost a week. KKR played their last game to Delhi Capitals and had no answers to Rabada bowling in the super over which made them lost their first match in this campaign.

Kolkata Knight Riders have played three matches so far and have won two. Now, let’s see whether things work clockwise or anti-clockwise of KKR.
