KKR vs RCB Dream11 Prediction With Stats, On Thursday, April 6 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders will square off in the ninth game of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

After defeating Mumbai Indians by eight wickets in their competition debut, Royal Challengers Bangalore got off to a strong start in their campaign.

The team’s success was greatly aided by the batting partnership of Virat Kohli and captain Faf du Plessis, who took control of the innings and easily reached the goal. They will be expecting to keep winning as they get ready for their second game.

On the other side, Kolkata Knight Riders had a disappointing start to their tournament run, losing their first game to Punjab Kings by seven runs in a game marred by rain.

Their bowlers had trouble getting into a groove. Their batting performance was also lacklustre, and the rain interruption only did more harm to them. They would want to recover stronger going into their next contest.

On paper, the match appears to be tightly contested, but Royal Challengers Bangalore has an edge over Kolkata Knight Riders thanks to their superior bowling attack.

For Game 9 of the Indian Premier League in 2023, here are the match specifics, pitch report, likely starting 11, squads, player records/stats, and dream11 fantasy team predictions.
