Morale-boosting win away from home.
KKR have struggled to get their opening pair down to zero. The former champions have made a reshuffle at the top with Sunil Narine, Jagadeesan, Liton Das, Jason Roy and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. His decision to send Narine to open the innings with Jagadishan against CSK backfired as the West Indies got out for a duck.
Big hitter Andre Russell has also failed miserably in his role as a finisher. He hasn’t been able to hit the big shots and KKR sending him at number seven or eight hasn’t helped. But KKR will go into the game with a slight psychological edge after beating RCB by 81 runs this season.
`Meanwhile, Faf du Plessis and his troops have won four out of their seven matches, including the last two, and find themselves outside the top four at the fifth spot.
RCB won on the basis of sensational performance of some players.
Du Plessis has been in excellent form and has shared several century partnerships with Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell, who are in good shape.
There is so much reliance on these three that only they are doing most of the scoring while other batsmen have failed to fire.
