Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Rajasthan Royals Team Preview
Royal Challengers Bangalore
The leading run-scorer and wicket-taker in the competition are both from Royal Challengers Bangalore. We anticipate Royal Challengers Bangalore to win even against a good squad like the Rajasthan Royals.
The key question in this game will be if skipper Faf du Plessis is fit enough to bat and field. He only batted in the last game due to a rib ailment, with Virat Kohli taking up the captaincy. There are no other injury concerns among the squad members.
Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals were in a solid position until losing their last game to the Lucknow Super Giants. In this encounter, we anticipate Royal Challengers Bangalore to be an even more formidable opponent.
The Rajasthan Royals made one alteration ahead of their match against the Lucknow Super Giants on Wednesday. Australian leg spinner Adam Zampa was replaced by tall and experienced West Indian all-rounder Jason Holder.
