RCB Playing XI:
Openers: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis(c)
While Virat Kohli is the leading run-scorer in IPL 2024, he failed to get going in the last game against MI and was out for just 3. The former RCB captain would be looking to score big in the upcoming game. On the other hand, Faf du Plessis scored 61 runs and will be eyeing another good outing with the bat.
Batsmen and allrounders: Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik(w), Mahipal Lomror
Barring Rajat Patidar and Dinesh Karthik, all the other middle and lower-order RCB batters struggled to do well against MI. While both Patidar and Karthik scored fine fifties, the likes of Jacks (8), Maxwell (0) and Lomror (0) could not even tough the double-digit mark.
Bowlers: Reece Topley, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep
RCB’s bowlers had a terrible outing against MI in the last game. MI chased down 197 runs in less than 17 overs by losing just three wickets. Not a single RCB bowler managed to have an economy-rate of less than 10 and they will be looking to bounce back in the upcoming game.
