IPL 2023 KKR vs RCB LIVE Cricket Score Updates: Varun Chakaravarthy bags four wkts as KKR beat RCB by 81 runs
IPL 2023 KKR vs RCB LIVE Cricket Score Updates, Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, Full Scorecard: With captaincy of RCB now being shouldered by Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli will look to play like the Cheeku of yesteryears - sans any weight of expectations and memories of painful losses behind him.
IPL 2023 KKR vs RCB LIVE Cricket Score Updates, Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, Full Scorecard: Kolkata Knight Riders mauled Royal Challengers Bangalore by 81 runs after KKR spinners Varun Chakaravarthy (4 for 15), Suyash Sharma (3 for 30), and Sunil Narine (2 for 16) picked up 9 wickets among them as RCB capitulated to a total of mere 123 runs, losing all their wickets in just 17.4 overs. Faf du Plessis (23) and Virat Kohli (21) began the RCB innings well, but once the two departed it was a downhill slide for Bangalore, which arrested only when the entire side was back in the hut.
In the first innings of the match, "Lord" Shardul Thakur blasted RCB bowlers all over the Eden Gardens to bring up the joint-fastest fifty of this IPL. He raced to a half-century off 20 balls only (equalling Joe Root's record of fastest fifty in IPL 2023), and then went on to score 68 runs (off 29 balls) - in a masterful innings that was punctuated by 9-sixes and 3-fours. Further buoyed by Rahmanullah Gurbaz's 57 runs off 44 balls, KKR ended with 204 runs from their stipulated 20 overs, after losing 7 wickets.
Result: KKR WIN BY 81 RUNS!

IPL 2023 KKR vs RCB LIVE Cricket Score Updates:
Let's look at the Bangalore squad. If one sees beyond Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Maxwell and DK, they still have match-winners like keeper-batsman Michael Bracewell, lanky pacer Reece Topley, fiery Mohammed Siraj, and all-rounder David Willey. So there's no shortage of talent there. But they've always been top-heavy as a batting unit, and whenever that top order fails, the rest of the batting lineup is just bicycles at a cycle stand — falling one after another.
IPL 2023 KKR vs RCB LIVE Cricket Score Updates:
OH, KOLKATA! The home of Kolkata Knight Riders! The flashes that we get when thinking of KKR defintely contain fiery characters like Brendon McCullum-Chris Gayle (who went on a rampage in the inaugural match in 2008), flashes of Shoaib Akhtar and Shah Rukh Khan, and Gautam Gambhir, and Jacques Kallis, and Sourav Ganguly, and Manvinder Bisla! Before we get carried away, let's wish the team from Kolkata all the best for the test against RCB and hope they channel their inner Dadas and breathe fire into the contest today!

Oh, then there's Mr IPL himself — Glenn Maxwell! The Australian answer to AB de Villiers is a livewire on the field as well! Bangalore fans will want him to channel his inner marauder and plunder KKR's bowling attack.

IPL 2023 KKR vs RCB LIVE Cricket Score Updates:
When talking about Kolkata Knight Riders, how can we forget Mr KKR - Andre Russell - himself! He's taken over the mantle from Chris Gayle to be the fearsome Carribean in the KKR squad, and not to mention, he's more than handy with the ball as well. But his towering sixes that clear even the mighty Eden Gardens are something the crowd will want to watch today!
