KKR VS RCB: First match in IPL on Saturday, know what is the biggest strength and weakness of KKR and RCB
New Delhi:
Kolkata vs bangalore: The Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) is going to start on Saturday. In the first match, on Saturday, the competition will be between defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore (KKR vs RCB). The face of teams has changed a lot compared to last year. The captain has changed, the mantor has changed, so the team has also changed. Obviously, the match will be more competition this time. You know what is the biggest strength and weakness of both teams.
Kolkata Knight Riders: Strength:
The major strength of this team was decided by the previous mentor Gautam. This decision to make Sunil Naren an opener. This time too, KKR’s big strength revolves around Sunil Naren and Windies partner Andre Russell. At the same time, their back-up players are of niche. If Sunil’s option is Moin Ali, Russell’s back-up is Rowman Powell, while Enrich Nooria’s option is Spensor Johnson, and Ramhanullah Gurbaz is replaced by Quinton Dickock. This is the biggest strength of this team
Weakness:
The absence of a destroyer batsman in the midl order is a matter of concern. How will captain Ajinkya Rahane be able to prove a place in his own XI, this is a big challenge in itself. If the captain changes in the middle of the tournament, then it will not be unexpected. Venkatesh, Iyer Angkris Rakhuvanshi and Rinku Singh are between 3 and 6 numbers, but the midl order does not look like a batsman, which should be there.
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Strength
RCB has a great seam attack in the form of Bhubaneswar Kumar and Josh Haijwood. They have back-ups as Lungi Angidi and Nuwan Tushara, while there are also Indian players as Tamik Salaam, Yash Dayal and Uncapted Abhinandan Singh. Talking about batting, the top three batsmen are very strong. If Virat Kohli is there, Phil Salt will replace the former captain Fafle, then captain Rajat Patidar will maintain aggression.
Weakness:
RCB has always had a lack of number four batsmen. He has many batsmen, but the number four is not visible. In such a situation, Krunal Pandya, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma and Tim David can be seen playing on this number, but the style of all four of these four is not suitable for this number.
