The first mega-blockbuster of Sunday, KKR vs RCB, will play at Eden Gardens. A lot has changed for Royal Challengers Bangalore(RCB) this season. But what hasn’t changed is the performance.
Each season, they disappoint their fans. Usually, Virat & CO used to wear the green jersey in a match at home. We will see them in a green jersey at Eden Gardens this time.
RCB is now in survival mode. They will play for their pride. RCB at the bottom of all points table. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are comparatively much ahead. KKR is now in the third sport after DC vs SRH match.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have lost only two games so far. If KKR wins against RCB, they will lift up to second place. It is the biggest challenge for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who have lost five consecutive matches.
They need the comeback sake of their fans. A common challenge for both teams is Kolkata’s heat.

On the other hand, for RCB, it is a battle of honour. Both teams have powerful battings. But RCB’s bowling will be their concern in this match. But it is all about holding the nerves and strategy.
Proper planning with execution can change momentum. So it will be a mega Sunday fight.
