img-blog CricBattle Daily Fantasy Cricket League Tips Bangalore vs Kolkata on April 18 The Royal Challengers Bangalore side has started its 2021 IPL campaign with a bang. The Virat Kohli-led side is the only team that has managed to stay unbeaten in the tournament thus far. The ‘Men in Red’ have won both the matches that they have played in the 14th IPL edition thus far and are currently on top of the table. They will be up against two-time IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 10th match of the IPL. In the 2 matches that the Eoin Morgan-led side has played in the tournament thus far, they have won a game and lost a game. While the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) beat the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) side in their first match of IPL 2021 by 10 runs, they went do. In fact, in their encounter against the Rohit Sharma led side, it seemed as if the Kolkata outfit would romp home with ease. They needed just 31 runs from their last 5 overs. But then, the side self-destructed in sensational fashion and lost the match. On the other hand, the Virat Kohli-led Bangalore side showed excellent fighting spirit in their previous clash against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) outfit. Even though RCB only scored 149/8 in their allotted 20 overs, Kohli and his men managed to restrict the ‘Orange Army’ to a total of just 143. And, while the Bangalore side will look to continue with their unbeaten run in the tournament, the Kolkata outfit will be looking for a reversal of fortunes Best economical pick – Shubman Gill played a brief but effective inning in the last game against Mumbai Indians (MI) and will be looking forward to piling up a big inning to his name in this match. Top captains & vice captains – Glenn Maxwell is in good form has scored a half-century in the last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). He will look to carry the momentum to this game as well. Nitish Rana is looking in a brilliant touch and has scored half-centuries in both the games he has played by far. His performances, as an opener, have been stunning and he will be eyeing to play another good knock for his team in this game. Smart pick – Virat Kohli has got good starts in the two innings he has played by far in this season of VIVO IPL but was unable to convert the starts and must be eyeing on a big inning in this match. He also holds a decent record against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the VIVO IPL and has scored 725 runs at an average of 40.27 and 130.16 strike rate. Cautious Pick – In the two matches Shakib al Hasan has bowled eight overs for 57 runs and picked up two wickets. His comeback into the team has made their bowling unit look a bit more wholesome for these conditions in Chennai. However, KKR would expect him to deliver with the bat as well in the middle order. Unfortunately, he also played a rash shot during the chase against MI. My XI – Glenn Maxwell (Captain), Nitish Rana(Vice-Captain), Ab de Villiers, Varun Chakravarthy, Devdutt Padikal, Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj, Pat Cummins, Rahul Tripathi, Daniel Christian, Shubman Gill
