Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders: Dream 11 Match Prediction
Though KKR is a favourite in the opening match of the season against RCB due to their home ground advantage and better head-to-head record, RCB, with a new and strong squad under captain Rajat Patidar and featuring stars like Virat Kohli, as well as aggressive batters like Phil Salt and Tim David, is likely to put up a strong fight against Kolkata on their own home ground. The toss will play a significant role in the match, as the team winning it will like to chase the target. Our prediction is that KKR will win the match.
