Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are going to clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 9th match of IPL 2023. RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss & opted to bowl first. Faf du Plessis made one change to their playing 11, and David Willey replaced the injured Reece Topley.
KKR on the other hand made one change, Suyash Singh came in place of Anukul Roy. KKR had a topsy-turvy clash against PBKS when they lost the match by 7 runs due to the DLS method. KKR fans would be hoping that the team bounces back strongly at their home ground, and there would be huge support for KKR.

RCB had a near-perfect game against the mighty 5 times IPL winner MI. The duo of Faf & Virat annihilated the bowling lineup. The Kolkata pitch is expected to be a run fest as the average score in the last 10 matches is in excess of 180, we could be in for yet another high-scoring thriller.
Huge confusion at toss time
RCB skipper Faf du Plessis had called out heads but everyone present in the middle heard tails. Faf made it clear that he had said heads, Sanjay Manjrekar intervened in the issue else KKR would have won the toss. KKR skipper Nitish Rana was quite furious, we all know how decisive the toss is especially at Eden Gardens when the dew factor comes into action.

Great Chance for RCB
RCB would back themselves to win this match as chasing is quite easy at the track. It would be interesting to see how the left-arm pacer David Willey fares who has similar traits to Reece Topley, the pitch seems to have a tinge of grass & can create some sort of disturbance in the power-play.

KKR on the other side would be aiming to score in excess of 180, it won’t be a surprise if KKR go berserk from the start & play short and effective cameos for the team. All eyes would be on skipper Nitish Rana, the left handed batter needs to bat up the order & make a statement that they are not done yet.
