Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are about to take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 12 of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. KKR captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and invited the power-packed RCB batting to bat first on the surface. However, what caught the attention of fans at the toss was KKR skipper forgot his playing XI for the game.

Upon being asked by the commentator Ravi Shastri about his team’s playing combination, Iyer failed to recall the changes and after a slight pause revealed that Anukul Roy had been brought into the side. The KKR captain seemed flummoxed out in the middle juggling through the two team sheets.

“It is important to stay in the present. We have to see to it that we capitalize on the start. The bowling – Anukul comes in. I am seriously confused. There are two teams given to me,” said Iyer at the toss.
