It wasn’t the most ideal start to the IPL 2022 season for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. They ticked all the boxes while batting and put up 200+ but weren’t able to defend that, now holding the record for the most 200+ scores in a losing cause in the tournament’s history. They will now be looking to bounce back after that loss against Punjab Kings, as they play Match 6 of IPL 2022 at the DY Patil Sports Academy.
They’re playing against Kolkata Knight Riders and these two teams have enjoyed a great rivalry over the years in this league, with KKR leading the head to head count, 16-13. KKR were victorious in the opening game of the league, where they powered past the defending champs, CSK, and KKR is actually one of the strongest sides this season.

Numbers
- Head to head in last 5 games, RCB leads 3-2.
- Faf du Plessis – one of three players with 1,000+ runs since IPL 2020.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
Glenn Maxwell will join the side later this week after getting married recently which means Anuj Rawat is likely to continue opening alongside new captain Faf du Plessis. Now Faf is alongside Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul as three batsmen with 1,000+ runs since IPL 2020, so we’re picking him. Another person high on confidence who should make your BLR vs KOL fantasy team is Wanindu Hasaranga though he only got one wicket last game.
We were surprised to see Harshal Patel being used as the sixth bowler in the last game, but either way, wickets are almost a surety from this guy’s bowling arm so we’re adding him to our BLR vs KOL Dream11 team too. The only other game at this ground in IPL 2022 saw a 200+ total which was chased down, so we’re going to pick more batters than bowlers for this contest, so expect both Kolhi and DK to be picked by us too.
Kolkata Knight Riders
This team has a very long batting lineup and in their last chase to victory, the likes of Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and others didn’t even get the opportunity to bat. It basically means they could let go of the additional batting resource of Sam Billings for an added bowling option like Mohammad Nabi. Otherwise, we don’t see many changes being made to their winning combination. Keep most of your all-rounder slots for KKR picks.

The reason we’re saying so is because all of Russell, Narine and Venkatesh Iyer are considered all-round options. Iyer makes our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) BLR vs KOL fantasy team because he’s been super consistent since IPL 2021 and since then, even has experience of playing for the national side. With the ball in their first game, Umesh Yadav was the unlikely hero with his 2/20 and he could perform again, up against a former franchise.
