Next up in the Vivo IPL 2021 is a double header on Sunday. The first of the two matches is a gripping contest between the Royal Challenger Bangalore and the Kolkata Knight Riders. RCB are flying at the moment and are the only side in the league who have not lost a game as yet. They will be looking to continue this run in Chepauk.
Glenn Maxwell has added the much needed depth in their batting lineup while their bowling performance has been uncharacteristically good this season. On the other hand, we have the Morgan-led KKR side. They started with a win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad and were looking good against the Champions MI. But a string of wickets in the final overs of the match cost them those important two points. It will be interesting to see how they bounce back from that setback.
