RCB (3rd) and KKR (6th) will be playing the second match after the restart of the IPL 2021 season in the UAE. The match will be played from 7:30 pm (IST) onwards at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
From leading the table with four wins on the trot, the Virat Kohli-led team had slipped to third spot before the break in the season, having suffered two defeats from their last three matches. The onus would be on their famed batting lineup of Kohli, AB de Villiers and Glen Maxwell to start firing once again and put pressure on the KKR batsmen.
Having started the season with much promise under Eoin Morgan, KKR so far have failed to inspire, suffering five defeats in seven matches. They are at the sixth spot in the eight-team table, staring at early elimination for a third season in a row. The biggest letdown for KKR this season has been their top-order batting as the top three Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi have failed to give the team a decent start.
