IPL 2022: RCB WON THE TOSS AND ELECT TO BOWL FIRST
(The Quiver): In match 6 of IPL 2022, Royal challengers Bangalore skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and elected to bowl against Kolkata Knight Riders at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai. After losing the first match of their season to Punjab Kings, RCB are in search of a win to put the campaign on a positive track. While KKR will look to continue their winning momentum after registering a clinical 6-wicket win over defending champions Chennai Super Kings in the season opener.
RCB decided to play with the same XI from the last match as they continue to back their bowling despite failing to defend the 206-run target in their previous game. While KKR made a change to their XI as Shivam Mavi missed out to make a place for veteran Tim Southee.
Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI):
Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer(c), Sam Billings, Sheldon Jackson(w), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy
Royal Challengers Bangalore (Playing XI):
Faf du Plessis(c), Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik(w), Sherfane Rutherford, Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga, David Willey, Harshal Patel, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj
