RCB vs KKR Head to Head Records in IPL- IPL 2024, Match 10

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) go head to head in match 10 of IPL 2024 on Friday, March 29. The RCB vs KKR rivalry is one of the most keenly followed rivalries in the IPL.

The rivalry features two of the biggest names in Indian cricket, Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli. The first major altercation between the two happened in an IPL 2013 match. Last year, another verbal altercation happened after the end of the RCB vs LSG match that reignited this rivalry. 

Gambhir has now returned as the mentor of the Kolkata Knight Riders. As captain of KKR, he had some big performances and wins against RCB. Virat Kohli was leading the Royal Challengers Bangalore at that point. 

Meanwhile, heading into the game, KKR should consider themselves lucky to win the first game against SRH at home. After scoring over 200 runs, their bowlers almost leaked the runs but Harshit Rana managed to keep his cool in the final over. Mitchell Starc went for 51 runs in his first game for KKR and needs to make a big comeback with the ball against his former IPL franchise.
