IPL 2023: Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders – Stats Preview

Royal Challengers Bangalore will host Kolkata Knight Riders in the 36th match of the season at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Wednesday. When these two teams met earlier in the season, it was a one-sided contest as KKR had routed RCB by 81 runs.

As we are now at the halfway stage of the tournament, RCB is currently in fifth place with four wins in seven matches. On the other hand, KKR also registered an emphatic win against GT after their win against RCB earlier in the season.

However, since then things have gone south for the Nitish Rana-led team as they have lost their last four matches. Thus, KKR will be desperate for a win and they will be looking to replicate the same performance against RCB.

Here is the Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders – Stats Preview

Virat Kohli has gathered 6903 in 230 IPL matches and thus he is 97 runs away from becoming the first player in the IPL to score 7000 runs in the tournament.

RCB’s veteran wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik has scored 4437 runs in 236 IPL matches at an average of 26.25. Karthik is 63 runs away from reaching the 4500-run mark in the IPL. He will become the second wicket-keeper in the IPL to do so after MS Dhoni.

RCB captain Faf du Plessis has scored 3808 runs in the IPL and the right-hander needs another 192 runs to complete 4000 runs in the tournament.

Andre Russell has taken 92 wickets in the 105 matches he has played in the IPL. Thus, the all-rounder is eight wickets away from completing 100 wickets.

KKR’s experienced fast bowler Tim Southee has scalped 47 wickets in 54 IPL matches and the veteran pacer needs another three more scalps to complete 50 wickets in the tournament.

KKR captain Nitish Rana has amassed 2362 runs and he needs another 138 runs to complete the landmark of 2500 runs in the tournament.

Venkatesh Iyer has gathered 806 runs in 29 IPL matches and he needs another 194 runs to reach the 1000-run mark.
