RCB vs KKR IPL Highlights: Kolkata Knight Riders thrash Royal Challengers Bengaluru to record big win

Playing 500 T20 matches is a nice milestone. Hopefully there are 500 more to come. Great to perform like this. Relief also to get it after a while. Just self belief and support staff giving encouragement. Little bit of hard work and it is helping. Powerplay is always the hardest over to bowl so you have to forget that. When you come back later, you have to capitalise and pull things back. (KKR camp) It helps when you win. Self belief and confidence is coming from the support staff.

And KKR have won this match. They have shattered the away-team jinx in the season. KKR are the first away team to beat a home side in IPL 2024. And they hand RCB a proper drubbing here at the Chinnaswamy. An easy 7 wicket win inside 17 overs. It's two-out-of-two wins for KKR and they love that

Fifty for Venkatesh Iyer and KKR are now very little way from a win. A 29-ball fifty for the all-rounder and he removes his helmet to celebrate the milestone. Ohh no, he has holed out a back of a length ball to Kohli in the deep and has been dismissed on the next ball he faced after the fifty. But KKR are in pole position to win this. Only 16 runs needed in 29 balls

Another brilliant over from impact-sub Vijayjumar Vyshak by conceding just five runs in the 12th over but Kolkata remain in complete control of the game at the moment.

Mitchell Starc to bowl the first over for Kolkata Knight Riders.

We would have liked to chase. Important early season to get over the line in close games. Helps the confidence as well. All the great cricketers have got the ability to adapt, and then see what your options are. Love the support here. Unchanged.

Had a chat with the curator and she was not unsure how the wicket will behave. The preparation has been good, we have to carry forward the momentum. Important to be in the present and get a good start. My role is to play the anchor role and play through and through. Good to have lethal bowling line-up as captain. They were phenomenal last game. Need to capitalise on the start. One change: Anukul Roy comes in.
