Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Anukul Roy, and Mandeep Singh made just 86 runs between them. All-rounder Andre Russell top-scored with 35 off just 19 balls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Domestic bowlers Varun Chakravarthy and Umesh Yadav bowled economically in KKR\u2019s opener. However, the experienced Tim Southee, Sunil Narine, and Shardul Thakur leaked 137 runs in 12 overs. With KKR playing in familiar conditions, Narine is expected to trouble the RCB batters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>KKR Player List<\/b><b><\/p>\n<p><\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nitish Rana (captain)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mandeep Singh<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rahmanullah Gurbaz<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anukul Roy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Umesh Yadav<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venkatesh Iyer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rinku Singh<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andre Russell<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shardul Thakur<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunil Narine<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Narayan Jagadeesan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Varun Chakravarthy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suyash Sharma<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kulwant Khejroliya<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harshit Rana<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaibhav Arora<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tim Southee<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Wiese<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lockie Ferguson<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Royal Challengers Bangalore<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consistency has become RCB&#8217;s new hallmark, as the franchise from Bengaluru has clinched a playoff berth in the previous three IPL seasons.
