KKR Vs RCB
The Three Times Champions- KKR
The Kolkata Knight Riders have a highlighted spot in the IPL Teams list. KKR has a large fan base around the world. In fact, it did exceptionally well in the last season, as they were unstoppable.

In the previous IPL season, KKR finished the league phase in the top place with nine wins in 14 matches. They also defeated RCB and CSK. This includes the iconic 8-wicket victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the qualifiers. The team, led by Shreyas Iyer, defeated the Aussies under the orange jersey in the finale again. What a spectacular ending it was, with the trophy going home to Kolkata.

No Trophy Home- RCB
The Royal Challengers Bangalore has sheltered one of the finest Indian cricket players, Virat Kohli. Despite that, the team has never won a single trophy in the history of the IPL. The team shows a spectacular performance almost always, but the results are never favorable. Last season, under the leadership of Faf du Plessis, RCB showcased one of the poorest IPL starts in the history of the 16 years. Following that, they lost six out of eight matches, making fans around the world cry for the winning sight. Later, they gained momentum and even eliminated the superfans’ favorite, Chennai Super Kings, making it to the eliminator. But it made no changes, no trophies. According to meme fests online, people observe that their losses do not affect the loyalty of their fans.This year, RCB has to keep up with expectations and go even harder for the trophy. “E Saala Cup Naamde.” This time, the team will be playing under the new skipper, Rajat Patidar.
