Virat Kohli has decided to step down from captaincy after this season and would very much like to go out on a high when Royal Challengers Bangalore takes on Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL Eliminator on Monday.
He had earlier led Bangalore to an IPL final in 2016, besides having earlier played in the playoffs in 2015 and 2020. This edition he has a shot at redemption.
On the other hand, Kolkata under Eoin Morgan’s leadership are trying to regain the team’s lost glory. In the head-to-head record, Kolkata has a slight edge, having won 15 matches out of 28 in total.
Bangalore would be high on momentum after sealing a thrilling win over Delhi capitals with a last-ball six in their last league game. Kolkata too put up a tremendous show in the UAE leg of the tournament.
