IPL 2018 Live Cricket Score KKR vs RCB Live Streaming: Virat Kohli will lead RCB.
It is Dinesh Karthik vs Virat Kohli as Kolkata Knight Riders take on Royal Challengers Bangalore at the majestic Eden Gardens. While both sides have gone through a few churns in the auction earlier in the year, one could argue that it is KKR who are deeper inside uncharted territory than RCB. They had let go of long-time skipper Gautam Gambhir, under whom KKR were transformed from perpetual underperformers to one of the toughest sides to beat in the league. Last season, RCB endured a nightmare at Eden Gardens as they got dismissed for 49 - the lowest by any team in the history of the IPL - in reply to KKR's 131. RCB are a much more balanced side on paper than they were last season, blending experience with youth and they have some formidable names in their bowling department. The first match will be a good indicator as to how these two sides will fair with their new-look teams this season.
