KKR vs RCB Dream11 Prediction Top Picks:

1) Virat Kohli: Kohli remains a consistent run-machine and a key player for RCB. He had a good outing in a Champions Trophy, he’s likely to anchor the innings. This makes him our first choice for C/VC.

2) Sunil Narine: Narine’s dual skills as a mystery spinner and explosive batsman make him a top pick. His ability to impact both departments makes him our second captain/vice-captain option.

3) Venkatesh Iyer: KKR’s vice-captain and all-rounder, Iyer’s hefty price tag of Rs. 23.75 crore reflects his value. Along with his explosive bowling he can also add points with bowling. This make him a must-have in your team. And he will be our third C/VC option.
