RCB vs KKR Dream11: We have an exciting fixture in our hands on Friday (March 29), as Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be taking on the Kolkata Knight Riders at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Both teams have a chance at an early spot in the top four. While RCB has won one out of their two matches, KKR has played just one match so far and secured two points against SRH. In this article, we will take a look at RCB vs KKR Dream11 and top fantasy picks for the match.
RCB vs KKR preview
It’s the second straight game for the Royal Challengers at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium after they faced Punjab Kings (PBKS) earlier on Monday, March 25. The hosts beat them in a thrilling run chase by four wickets, with Virat Kohli showing his aggressive nature with the bat and Dinesh Karthik rolling back the years with his devastating finishing touch.
Meanwhile, KKR would have breathed a sigh of relief after beating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their opening game at the Eden Gardens. Setting a target of 209, KKR were in total control of the game when SRH needed 76 runs off the final four overs. However, Heinrich Klaasen and Shahbaz Ahmed threatened to snatch the game from KKR’s jaws of defeat, only for young bowler Harshit Rana to hold his nerve in the final over and help his side register a nervy four-run win.
