RCB vs KKR, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 6
The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 6 of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday. While Bangalore went down to the Punjab Kings (PBKS) by five wickets in their opening match, Kolkata got the better of defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by six wickets.
RCB were impressive with the bat in their first match, posting 205 for 2 on the board. New skipper Faf du Plessis played a brilliant knock of 88 in 57 balls, while Dinesh Karthik and Virat Kohli chipped in with handy contributions. However, Bangalore’s bowlers disappointed as Punjab chased down the challenging target.
Kolkata, on the other hand, were clinical with both bat and ball against Chennai. Umesh Yadav’s opening burst of two wickets went a long way in restricting CSK to 131 for 5. The spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine impressed again, while Ajinkya Rahane found some form with the bat.
