Bengaluru: Winning the toss, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) invited Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to bat first in Indian Premier League (IPL 2018) match at the M Chinnaswamy ground here on Sunday.
In a major jolt to RCB, their best performing player AB de Villiers will miss the match owing to viral fever. Tim Southee will be taking his place, while Murugan Ashwin will replace Washington Sundar and Pawan Negi has been replaced by Manan Vohra.
KKR skipper Dinesh Karthik, however, has kept his belief intact in the same team from the previous match.
Here are the two squads:
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB): Quinton de Kock (wk), Virat Kohli (c), Manan Vohra, Corey Anderson, Mandeep Singh, Colin de Grandhomme, Murugan Ashwin, Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR): Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine, Robin Uthappa, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik (wk/c), Shubman Gill, Andre Russell, Shivam Mavi, Piyush Chawla, Mitchell Johnson, Kuldeep Yadav
