Key Batters to Watch for KKR vs RCB :
Will Jacks

Jacks came into this tournament with a reputation of being a ferocious hitter, but until he failed to make a mark of his name. But against Kolkata whose ground dimensions and bowling should have him at ease.
Shreyas Iyer
Iyer is having a poor season, he failed to get along with the scoring rate of his side and even against spinners he has looked out of depth. The team management will be hoping he regains his form against Bengaluru which will help them before the business end of the tournament starts.
Key Bowlers to Watch for KKR vs RCB :
Sunil Narine

Narine enjoys a great record against Bengaluru, their bowling shouldn’t really worry him and considering Bengaluru’s struggles against spin, Narine should have a great game.
Yash Dayal
In the day games at Kolkata, the new ball has swung for a brief period, which makes Dayal an important player and the Bengaluru management would hope he takes new ball scalps against them.
