KKR vs RCB - WHO WILL TAKE MOST WICKETS IN TODAY'S MATCH?
Author: Vishnu Reddy
Updated At:
Eden Gardens, known for its batting-friendly conditions, has seen an average score of 204 in the last five IPL matches, highlighting the crucial nature of early wickets. RCB has strengthened its bowling attack with experienced pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, along with the in-form Rasikh Salam. However, they lack depth in the spin department. Meanwhile, KKR has retained most of its squad from last season but replaced Mitchell Starc with left-arm pacer Spencer Johnson, adding an intriguing dynamic to their attack.
Last season, in the 7 IPL matches played at Eden Gardens, spinners picked up 27 wickets, with Varun Chakravarthy leading the charts with 10 wickets, while Sunil Narine picked up 9 wickets. Fast bowlers, on the other hand, picked up 48 wickets, with Harshit Rana taking the most wickets (11) and Andre Russell the second most (8).
Using player statistics and head-to-head records, we've compiled a list of the three bowlers from each side with the best chance of picking up the most wickets, along with the odds offered by the top IPL Betting Apps.

Varun Chakravarthy is the best T20 bowler in the world right now and he has a pretty good record against RCB at Eden Gardens where he has bagged 5 wickets in 2 matches. Last season with 10 wickets he was the leading wicket taker at this venue. Given his ability to pick up wickets in the middle overs, Chakravarthy will be a major threat to RCB’s middle order and we back him to take more wickets than all the other bowlers in the KKR vs RCB season opener of IPL 2025.
