Royal Challengers Bengaluru are back in action on their home turf as they will hope to make it two wins in a row on Friday as they take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the 10th match of the IPL 2024 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
After a terrible start to their campaign in the curtain raiser where they went down against reigning champions Chennai Super Kings, they came strongly at home as they beat Punjab Kings convincingly.

Former captain Virat Kohli returned to form in the PBKS clash riding on his brilliant knock of 77 runs, RCB clinched their maiden win of the current season.
KKR, on the other hand, got off to a flying start as they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad at home in a closely fought encounter.
Andre Russell was at his very best with the bat as he powered KKR to a 200-plus score. Young fast bowler Harshit Rana picked up three wickets and managed to defend five runs in his last three balls to power KKR to a win.
KKR have always had the edge over RCB in the head to head battles in IPL but the local team will aim to turn the tide around this time.
