Venue: Eden – Kolkata

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders Live : KKR is in great form and is in positive thought with the win in the last match. They will probably go with the same squad this time too. Brad Hodge will play a key role and will look to open the innings and not lose the wicket. Sourav Ganguly surely will be thinking of playing a bigger role and leading the team from the front. Still, McCullum, Gayle and Hussey are not available. So, KKR will go with the same foreigners.

RCB have new vigor. With Kevin Pietersen, Ross Taylor and Cameron White not available for the first game, it surely will hurt the team and other foreigners will look to cement their place in the team. Jacques Kallis will be the key players who will look to swing his bat and even roll his arms. Along with him Manish Pandey will open the innings and both will try to Capitalize from the power and to give a good start. Rahul Dravid and Virat Kohli will have a big role in the team as big names are missing.

PLAYERS

KKR:-
Sourav Ganguly:The Prince of Kolkata, he will be the inspiration behind this team their leader and best batsman. He was one of the world’s best in ODI cricket and has been in good form in the domestic circuit but his batting didn’t click in first match, team would expect a good innings from him.
