Welcome to the coverage of the 33rd match of the Indian Premier League between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders in Bangalore, on Saturday.

RCB captain Virat Kohli has won the toss and elected to bowl against defending champions KKR.

RCB's last match in Bangalore was washed out and Kohli might be expecting the weather to play a part later in the game and that could have been a factor in him bowling first.

Interestingly, both teams have retained the same playing elevens from their last matches.
