At the time of finalising the schedule for IPL 2023, the dates of the elections to the Karnataka state assembly had yet to be announced. To avoid any possible clash with the polls tentatively scheduled for May, the IPL allocated six games to Bangalore in April, offering Royal Challengers Bangalore an outstanding opportunity to get on a roll right at the beginning of the competition.
The last of those six games will be staged at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday night when the home runs into a floundering Kolkata Knight Riders, on a hiding to nothing this season and wondering where their next two points will come from. KKR, who are sitting on a four-match losing streak, had brushed RCB aside by 81 runs in the first meeting at the Eden Gardens, so the little matter of payback too will be working on the minds of Faf du Plessis’ men.
