Kolkata Knight Riders are set to welcome Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a crucial IPL 2024 match on Sunday (April 21) at the Eden Gardens.

The Knight Riders find themselves in a decent position with four wins in the first six and are in the race for the playoffs, while Royal Challengers are currently rooted at the bottom of the points table with just a solitary win in seven matches.

It has been a horrible outing for Virat Kohli and co. in this IPL. A win is imperative for them as they travel to the City of Joy. Earlier this season, RCB were hammered by the Knights at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
