Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have done well in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. After winning four out of seven matches, RCB’s team is in the fifth position in the points table with eight points, and today they will face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The match is to be played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Before this match, RCB shared a special video.
In this video, Virat Kohli faces fellow fast bowler Mohammed Siraj, who is bowling strong in the nets in the current season. Virat was beaten and struggled in the early balls of Siraj, but once he got into form, he hit one shot after another. RCB has shared this video from its official Twitter handle.
This will be the second match of this season between KKR and RCB. Both the teams were earlier face-to-face on April 6 at the Eden Gardens ground. Then KKR thrashed RCB by 81 runs. This was RCB’s worst performance so far this season. In such a situation, the RCB team would like to make a strong comeback against KKR.

While RCB has won their last two consecutive matches, KKR will go into this match after one back-to-back. RCB’s confidence would have increased after two back-to-back wins. RCB registered wins against Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, and Virat Kohli captained both matches while Faf du Plessis played as an impact player.
