KKR vs RCB: 4 Players who can score Most Runs in the Match

Take a look at four names who may end up scoring the most number of runs in the IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore-

Faf du Plessis (RCB): RCB captain led from the front in the last match and scored 73 runs with the bat. He and Virat Kohli stitched 148 runs for the first wicket as RCB chased the target with ease against Mumbai Indians.

Du Plessis has been in terrific form and looks buoyant and confident, and hence, he can shine again for his team against KKR on Thursday.

Nitish Rana (KKR): Its the turn of Kolkata Knight Riders captain Nitish Rana to score big and lead his team from the front. Rana has got the captaincy duties in absence of Shreyas Iyer, which can propel the player to rediscover his form.

He made a good start in the last match but consistency will be key for the southpaw. If he can bring that element in his game, the Delhi-born batter can emerge as the main cog in the KKR batting jigsaw.

Virat Kohli (RCB): Virat Kohli has found his lost touch and is scoring runs for fun. In the last match, the talisman remained unbeaten for 82, displaying a scintillating inning. The RCB veteran will always be a vital player and he has the ability to score big again.

Kohli has scored 786 runs against KKR so far and has one hundred and 4 fifties against the men in Purple.

Andre Russell (KKR): Andre Russell's inclusion in this list is especially because of his affinity to bat against Royal Challengers Bangalore. The dashing batter has won matches single-handedly against RCB in the past and relishes the opportunities against them.

His batting is crucial for KKR and the mighty West Indies player will be keen to make amends for the last match mistake and score big in front of the home supporters.
