Virat Kohli Resumes Quest For First IPL Title With New Faces

​By a staff reporter :



Royal Challengers Bangalore, sitting pretty in third spot on the points table, will resume their Indian Premier League (2021) campaign against two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders. The Virat Kohli-led side has some new faces in their squad with a few international stars pulling out of the UAE leg of the T20 league. Three Australian internationals Adam Zampa, Kane Richardson and Daniel Sams had pulled out of the remainder of IPL 2021. The Bangalore-based franchise signed Sri Lankan duo of Dushmantha Chameera and Wanindu Hasaranga as replacements while also roping in Singapore's Tim David to their squad. The last time these two teams met in IPL 2021, RCB hammered KKR by 38 runs. RCB will once again look to repeat that performance when the two teams face off at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
