But the batting of Royal Challengers Bangalore is messing with their whole team instead of good bowling performances.

While for Rajasthan, both departments are riding at the top this IPL season. The fantastic inclusion of Prasidh Krishna has solved their drought problem in powerplay wickets. And Yuzi Chahal is a specialist spinner they got in giving blows to the opposition in the middle overs.

Both the teams have clashed in 25 games, in which RCB has won 12 matches, Rajasthan has succeeded in winning 10 games, and 3 matches were resultless.

Glenn Maxwell has also been added to the quarantine norms, but he won’t be available for this match. Again, it will be intriguing to see the magic of Wanindu Hasaranga in the middle.
