On a losing streak in the last four matches, Team Bangalore are expected to ring in changes and experiment in search of their first win when they take on Kolkata in an IPL match on Friday.

Bangalore's performance this IPL has been disappointing, both with the bat and ball, and a dejected captain Virat Kohli has conceded that his struggling team is yet to get the right balance but will continue experimenting with its combinations.

Though Kolkata lost their last game by 3 runs in the Super Over against Delhi, their confidence level is still high with their batsmen, including Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Robin Uthappa and Shubhman Gill, being in top form.

Rana has been impressive as an opener and in the middle order too in the first two games. The performance of Gill will be watched keenly since he is tipped to be a future India star.
