If you are looking to win some cash along with the entertainment, then here we help you pick the ideal BLR vs KOL Dream11 Team with all Dream11 tips for the BLR vs KOL IPL game.

When MS Dhoni hasn't exactly been "happy" with the Chennai pitch in 10 years, it's probably safe to assume that Royal Challengers Bangalore, with a bespoke batting line-up tuned to Chinnaswamy, must have had their fair share of adjustments this season. That they have managed to win both their games in Chennai, and remain the only unbeaten team in the tournament, speaks of the crucial role played by the Harshal Patels and the Shahbaz Ahmeds in the campaign so far. This season already looks very different for them but as trends have shown over the years, it's probably too soon to assume anything.

What to expect:Being the first day game of the season, it will be interesting to note the change in tactics vis-a-vis batting second. Though it's been the preferred option in the first four matches in Chennai, three out of those games have been won by sides batting first. RCB did win while chasing but it was off the last ball of the match.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Playing 11 (likely)

• Virat Kohli(c)
• Devdutt Padikkal
• Shahbaz Ahmed,
• Glenn Maxwell
• AB de Villiers(w)
• Washington Sundar
• Daniel Christian
• Kyle Jamieson
• Harshal Patel
• Mohammed Siraj
• Yuzvendra Chahal

G Maxwell scored a match-winning fifty in the last game making 59 runs from 41 balls with 5 fours and 3 sixes. He had also made 39 runs from 28 balls in the first game with 3 fours and 2 sixes. He looks in great form and can be expected to continue his ‘Big Show’. He has scored 6772 runs in 288 T20 innings with an average of 27.19 and has a strike-rate of 152.21. He has slammed 3 hundreds and 39 ffities.

S Ahmed was the impact player in the last game as he picked 3 wickets for just 7 runs in 2 overs. The Chennai pitch slows down as the game progresses so he can again be the X factor. He had also made 14 runs from 10 balls with 1 six and he can again bat at number 3 which means he will have more run-scoring opportunities.

Kolkata Knight Riders Playing 11 (likely)

Kolkata Knight Riders Team News:

Morgan has relied on Andre Russell to bowl the final few overs in both the games so far but AB de Villiers finds it easy to pick runs off the pacer, having scored at a strike-rate of 221.74 over the years. It will be something to consider for Morgan while shuffling his bowlers around.

The duo of S Gill and N Rana will open the innings while the likes of R Tripathi, E Morgan and A Russell will form the middle order. Shakib Al Hasan and P Cummins will lead the bowling attack.

Tactics & Matchups: Russell fares much better with the bat against RCB. He's totalled 339 runs at a strike rate of over 223 but his recent returns belie those stats. Since IPL 2020, Russell has averaged 17.64 across 18 T20 innings, with only one fifty-plus score and will need to step up in the middle-order that's already under some pressure.

Kolkata Knight Riders Playing 11

• Nitish Rana
• Shubman Gill,
• Rahul Tripathi,
• Eoin Morgan(c)
• Andre Russell,
• Dinesh Karthik(w)
• Shakib Al Hasan,
• Pat Cummins
• Harbhajan Singh,
• Prasidh Krishna
• Varun Chakravarthy

N Rana is in incredible form and has smashed fifties in both games. He scored 80 runs from 56 balls in the first game with 9 fours and 4 sixes and in the second game he made 57 runs from 47 balls off 6 fours and 2 sixes. He is a must-have batter in the team.

A Russell may have failed to hit sixes in this season yet but he has done exceedingly well in his other role i.e is the death over bowler. He picked 1 wicket in first game and then claimed a five-wicket haul in the second match. He is too good a batter to ignore, so have him in the team atleast for his bowling abilities. He has a strike-rate of 179.69 in IPL and has smashed 1531 runs at an average of 28.88.

Did you know:

Eoin Morgan has a poor record against RCB: 7 innings | 81 runs | AVG: 13.5 | SR 93.1

Since IPL 2020, Kohli strikes at 104.14 in the middle overs, with balls per boundary as high as 17.5

Sunil Narine has picked 16 wickets in 14 games against RCB (AVG: 21.94, SR: 19.5) but will struggle to find a place in the side. The only way he can get in is if Shakib Al Hasan makes way

Who will win today match: BLR vs KOL Dream 11 Prediction

The slow Chennai pitch would suit KOL more than BLR. The only worry for KOL is their middle-order which hasn’t fired yet. But considering their strength, in the BLR vs KOL Dream11 today match prediction expect KOLto win the game.
