Bangalore: Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Daniel Vettori won the toss and decided to field against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 10th match of the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore on Tuesday.
Riding high on their opening match triumph, Royal Challengers Bangalore would look to continue the winning streak against struggling Kolkata Knight Riders.
RCB would be hoping to get a rollicking start from Chris Gayle, who sat out due to fitness issues in their last match.
Led by Daniel Vettori, RCB beat Delhi Daredevils by 20 runs on Saturday and the New Zealander would hope his men would pull off yet another victory to make sure they don't go haywire after making a good start, which has been the story until last IPL.
On the other hand, after tasting two defeats in a row, Kolkata Knight Riders would look to reverse their fortunes when they play their third match against southern powerhouse RCB.
RCB were impressive against DD, both A B de Villiers and Muttiah Muralitharan starred with bat and ball respectively.
Virat Kohli, the current toast of Indian cricket, would hope to fire after he had a brief stay at the crease scoring just eight runs.
