IPL 2019 RCB vs KKR Match 17: FPJ’s Playing XI, Dream 11 for Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders

Down in the dumps after failing to win a single game from four attempts, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will have to put it across Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to not drift further away, when the two sides lock horns in IPL 2019 clash on Friday.

RCB, who are yet to win the IPL despite having two of the best batsmen in world cricket in their ranks, have got off to a worst possible start this time. After four games, they are yet to win any and have also been poor in every department under India captain Virat Kohli. Rooted to the foot of the points table, RCB were dismal on the field in their last match against fellow laggards Rajasthan Royals, dropping a number of catches at crucial junctures.

In KKR, it won't be easy for the hapless hosts to register their first win of the campaign. Although the visitors are coming off the back of a narrow defeat in the Super Over to Delhi Capitals, KKR have shown enough firepower in their armory to unsettle any opposition on their day. The threat of Andre Russell who has been swatting the cricket ball like a fly is always there besides the likes of Nitish Rana, Robin Uthappa, and skipper Dinesh Karthik also being among runs. In the head to head count too, KKR is ahead with 14 wins to RCB's nine from 23 matches till date.
