Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Kolkata Knight Riders Playing 11, IPL 2024: Royal Challengers Bengaluru did register their first win against Punjab Kings but a sterner challenge lies ahead for them as they will face off with Kolkata Knight Riders at the M Chinnaswamy on Friday.

CSK vs RCB: How Mustafizur Rahman made an impact at new home Chepauk

Ten deliveries is all that Mustafizur Rahman needed to take the fizz out of Royal Challengers Bengaluru. In those 10 deliveries he accounted for Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, Virat Kohli and Cameron Green as RCB’s top-order danced to Rahman’s tunes an hour after AR Rahman had Chepauk dancing on its feet.Bengaluru recovered through a 95-run stand between Anuj Rawat (48) and Dinesh Karthik (38 n.o) to post 173/6, a total that was well below par.
