Raipur: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB vs KKR) have a chance to go top of the points table if they win. And Kolkata Knight Riders must win to stay in the playoff race. In such a situation, the rain increased the anxiety of cricket lovers. RCB vs KKR match could not start on schedule due to rain in Raipur. If the match is lost, KKR’s forehead will burn or not, the practice started.

Finally, after the rain stopped, the toss took place at 8:30 pm. The match will start at 8.45 pm. But to the relief of fans, the overcrowding has not subsided. That is, two teams will play 20 overs. RCB captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and sent KKR to bat first. He decided to field. For normal reasons. There is already danger of rain, in such a situation all teams want to bat later. So that if for any reason the number of overs is cut due to rain, the numbers can proceed as per Duckworth-Lewis rule. RCBO also adopted the same strategy.

But KKR suffered a big blow before the match. Varun Chakraborty, one of the best spinners of the team, was knocked out due to a leg injury. There was a fear that he might not be able to play again. That is true. Instead of him of KKR Pacer Saurabh Duber is debuting in the jersey. Ajinkya Rahane said, Varun is not playing because of leg injury.
