IPL 2021, BLR vs KOL, 10th Match Match Preview:

Royal Challengers Bangalore batting line-up has had an average start to the season. While Virat Kohli has had starts, AB de Villiers has won them a game with his finishing skills. But the most fruitful batsman has been Glenn Maxwell, who has kept the run rate ticking despite what's happening at the other end. These three will remain the key for RCB throughout the season.

Shahbaz Ahmed bats at number 3 and bowls left-arm spin. He played a major role in RCB's win against SRH with the ball. However, since KKR has plenty of left-handers in the lineup, there's a minute chance that Bangalore could replace him with Rajat Patidar in the top order, who plays spin well.  

Kolkata Knight Riders had a strange game with the bat in their match against Mumbai. Nitish Rana continued with his fine form and hit another fifty but the rest of the batting collapsed. Only Rana and Shubman Gill scored in double figures. However, Eoin Morgan would be calling it a one off-game and is likely to stick with the same batting combination for this game. 

The bowlers did a great job to restrict MI for an average score. Andre Russell took five wickets in the death overs while the other bowlers kept the pressure in the early stages. Kuldeep Yadav might replace Harbhajan Singh in this game. 

The match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders is generally a close contest. The two teams are looking well balanced on paper but RCB is coming in this game more confident with two consecutive wins while KKR had an embarrassing loss the other night.
