I was hoping we get at least 1 warmup match before the real thing begins. But let's get into it straightaway and hopefully begin our title defence with a win!

Narayan Jagadeesan (wk)
David Warner :os:
Ambati Rayudu
Nitish Rana ^
Suryakumar Yadav
Ankit Bawne
Ravindra Jadeja (c) ^
Washington Sundar ^
Kagiso Rabada :os: ^
Lockie Ferguson :os: ^
Shaheen Afridi :os: ^

Like last season, this season too our batting rests on the able shoulders of young Indian talent and the ever dependable Rayudu and the explosive yet calm Warner. The bowling seems solid and our skipper is currently the best AR there is in the world. So I am hoping we will do well this time too.

A firm stand between the openers set the tone for Bangalore's innings as Mayank Agarwal and Faf du Plessis added 114 runs against the new-ball of Kolkata's feared pace-trio.
Two quick wickets were a big setback for Bangalore but Ajinkya Rahane and Kane Williamson regrouped and rejuvenated the innings with another anchoring partnership.

Royal Challengers Bangalore's captain - Kane Williamson missed out on a classy hundred by only 4 runs as Mohammad Shami broke his defense when he was on 96 (from 86).
Kolkata Knight Riders' bowling was a massive miss with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mitchell Starc, Amit Mishra and Joe Root being taken to the cleaners by Bangalore's top-order.

Jasprit Bumrah and Anrich Nortje have won it for Bangalore! Kolkata Knight Riders lose their last 7 wickets for a mere 27 runs in an epic collapse to end up losing by 16 runs!
Everything was going so smoothly for Kolkata Knight Riders - but one double-wicket over from Jasprit Bumrah turned the game around for Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Stalwart fifties from Jason Roy, Ravikumar Samarth, Joe Root and Dinesh Karthik go in vain as Kolkata Knight Riders' lower-order gets dismantled by Bumrah and Nortje.
Ravi Sai Kishore dismissed Joe Root providing the breakthrough and boy did Bumrah and Nortje capitalize on it - 7 wickets for 27 runs in 27 deliveries for Royal Challengers.
