Royal Challengers look to bounce back against battered KKR

After enduring two successive defeats, Royal Challengers Bangalore gets an opportunity to bounce back when it takes on tournament laggard Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League at Centurion on Tuesday.

Just a week back, Bangalore was on a high, fourth in the Indian Premier League table on the back of three successive victories.

But seven days can prove to be pretty long in this slam bang format of the game which the Royal Challengers found out much to their dismay.
