TEAM NEWS
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Virat Kohli’s form would be a concern for the side. Anuj Rawat too has underperformed this season, barring one knock that came against Mumbai Indians. Meanwhile, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell have failed to be consistent. Dinesh Karthik has been the vital cog in their batting line-up this season. In the bowling front, Mohammed Siraj has been good, but he would also need help from the likes of Josh Hazlewood and Wanindu Hasaranga. Harshal Patel has also looked off colour recently.
Rajasthan Royals: Their opener Jos Buttler is in the form of his life. He has already hit three centuries this season and leads the Orange Cap race by a huge margin. Devdutt Padikkal has got back into form, while Sanju Samson is just another power-packed performer for the side this season. Shimron Hetmyer too has been good. In bowling, Yuzvendra Chahal has been terrific while Ravichandran Ashwin has complemented him to a certain extent. Prasidh Krishna has been impressive while Trent Boult would look to get back in form. Obed McCoy seems a weak link in the attack.
