PREVIEW: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will play with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in match number nine of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). KKR were defeated in their opening game against PBKS, while RCB are coming off an eight-wicket victory over MI. KKR will be hoping for a happy homecoming at Eden Gardens against Virat Kohli-starrer RCB. KKR will be playing at Eden Gardens after nearly four years. The team has a good record at Eden Gardens and would be keen to continue with that form. For that to work, the big players like Andre Russell and Nitish Rana have to step up. Batting is slightly in need of work with the absence of Shreyas Iyer. The top order didn't work against PBKS, and skipper Rana would be hoping the batters come good against RCB. The Faf du Plessis-led RCB had a terrific start against MI, with batting and bowling working in unison. The biggest takeaway from the game was Virat Kohli’s fluency at the top. The right-hand batter seemed in the zone right from ball one. Bowling also looked superb with Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley and Karn Sharma bowling well. However, Topley would miss the second game. David Willey will likely replace him in the playing XI. The match will be played at Eden Gardens. The pitch here is pretty good for batters and bowlers. Spinners will get some purchase and should enjoy bowling here. 160 is the average first innings here.
