RR vs RCB Dream11 Prediction

Kolkata Knight Riders will most likely have ace pacer Pat Cummins in their XI for the next game, which is against Mumbai Indians at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Wednesday.

Pat Cummins, who wasn’t a part of Australia’s limited-overs matches on their tour to Pakistan, joined the Kolkata Knight Riders squad last Friday with his quarantine set to be over on Monday. But Kolkata Knight Riders will have selection headaches to choosing the best possible XI.
