KKR vs RCB Weather Report, IPL 2023: Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in a mega blockbuster clash in match nine of the Indian Premier League 16 on Thursday. What makes the tie even more exciting is the fact that KKR will be playing at their beloved home Eden Gardens for the first time in four years and that too at full capacity.

The Nitish Rana-led sid, in fact, would like to get all the support they can as they lost their opening match to Punjab Kings and was followed by the bad news of Shreyas Iyer being out of the IPL 2023 entirely. Their Thursday's rival also come into the game with a big win over Mumbai Indians and have an in-form Virat Kohli to deal with.

However, KKR will like to remind themselves that it was the rain that took the victory away from them against Punjab in Chandigarh as they fell short by seven runs of the Duckworth-Lewis par score. KKR fans, and RCBians alike, would like to be wary of the fact that rain will play spoilsport again and that's why we bring to you the weather forecast for the day.
