DUBAI
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will have an eye both on playoff berths as well as an unstoppable AB de Villiers when they take on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Wednesday.
Both the teams are coming into the match on the back of a win each. Bangalore and Kolkata are in third and fourth spots with 12 and 10 points respectively.
Bangalore’s strength has been a star-studded batting line-up that features captain Virat Kohli, De Villiers, Aaron Finch, and Devdut Padikkal.
Both Kohli and De Villiers are in stupendous form and can blow away any bowling attack on a given day. In their last head-to-head meeting, Bangalore had trounced Kolkata by a huge margin of 82 runs.
De Villiers struck a 33-ball 73 to light up the Sharjah Stadium as Kohli decided to take a backseat and enjoyed the fireworks from the other end.
De Villiers once showed his brutal side as he steered Bangalore to a seven-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals with an unbeaten 22-ball 55.
