IPL 2017: When and where to watch RCB vs KKR, coverage on TV and live streaming on Hotstar

With their last two matches having ended in defeat, Kolkata Knight Riders will welcome the opportunity to take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in an Indian Premier League (IPL) encounter on Sunday. Bangalore, despite the presence of some big names like Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli, have found the going tough this season and are currently languishing at the bottom of the pile, with five points from 12 matches. For Kolkata, who are second in the table with 14 points out of 11 matches, the equation is simple: they need two wins out of their remaining three matches to seal their berth in the playoffs. However, with their last two matches being against a resurgent Kings XI Punjab, who beat RCB by 19 runs on Saturday, and Mumbai Indians, who have already made it to the playoffs, KKR will look to win against RCB.
