Defending champions KKR begin title defence RCB

Kolkata, Mar 21 (UNI) The 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to commence on Saturday with defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a high-voltage clash at Eden Gardens.
KKR, a three-time IPL champion, will be led by Ajinkya Rahane this season as they look to secure back-to-back titles. The side boasts a formidable batting lineup, with the experienced Sunil Narine expected to continue his stellar form alongside Quinton de Kock at the top. Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer will provide stability in the middle order, while finishers Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, and Ramandeep Singh will be key in the death overs.
The bowling attack, spearheaded by South African pacer Anrich Nortje, also features Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora, and Varun Chakravarthy. KKR’s spin department remains a major strength, with Narine and Chakravarthy expected to play a crucial role on the Eden Gardens surface.
