Royals Challengers Bangalore will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in their second match in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022) at the DY Patil Stadium on Wednesday.

The Knight Riders hold two titles under their belt in the tournament, while RCB is yet to win an IPL trophy. However, both teams have both produced some of the most thrilling matches in the history of the Indian Premier League.

The hosts will be looking for their first win as they lost to Punjab Kings in their opening game at the same venue.
