Kolkata Knightriders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore: Fantasy Predictions; The Kolkata Knightriders who started their campaign on a high note riding on Russell’s terrific form, seem to have reasons to be worried now at the halfway mark. It comes across as if that the Knights are way too dependent on Russell to bail them out every time, which is backfiring and has resulted in three losses in the trot. On the other hand, the Royal Challengers Bangalore are practically out of contention for a spot in the playoffs, the contest will be an interesting one to see if the Knights break their losing streak and get back to their winning ways, or will the Royal Challengers side gain their second victory of the season.
