The Kolkata and Bangalore-based franchises share a fierce rivalry right from the opening game of the IPL in 2008, where KKR piled up 222 runs for RCB in the 1st innings. Credit to Brendon McCullum’s scintillating unbeaten 158 off 73 balls. But Ajit Agarkar led the bowling attack bundled them out for 82 runs and handed them a humiliating defeat by 140 runs. 

Millions of fans witnessed another instance of rivalry while KKR packed RCB to record the lowest-ever IPL total of 49, defending a modest total of 132 runs in 2017 at Eden Gardens. RCB even has not shown mercy to their arch-rival KKR. During the 39th match of the 2020 IPL, RCB bowlers wreaked havoc on KKR and bowled them out for 84 runs, eventually winning the match by 8 wickets.

The last time both strong sides met each other was in the 10th match of the 2024 IPL at the Chinnaswamy Stadium wherein KKR beat RCB by seven wickets and nineteen balls to spare. KKR’s tight bowling unit led by Andre Russell’s 2/29 stopped RCB at 182/6 in their allotted 20 overs. A brisk start from Narine and Salt in the powerplay who scored 47 off 22 and 30 off 20 balls apiece and a decent 50 and 39* from V Iyer and Shreays took KKR home, maintaining their dominance over the Red Army.
