The form that Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis flaunted last Sunday will have left opponents suitably worried about their prospects against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in these early days of IPL-16. For Kolkata Knight Riders, who take on RCB at the Eden Gardens on Thursday, the threat from the two openers will have acquired more sinister proportions given the lack of bite in their bowling for the better part of the Punjab Kings innings on Saturday. With the batting too failing to inspire confidence, KKR may have to take another look at their top order.
