The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) will square off in the 32nd game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. This match will be held at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
With six games under their belt, the Royal Challengers have three victories. In their prior match, they defeated the Punjab Kings resoundingly in Mohali to return to winning ways.
The Royal Challengers scored 174 runs thanks to 50s from Virat Kohli (59) and Faf du Plessis (84) in their innings. With figures of 4/21, Mohammed Siraj stood out with the ball as he helped them defeat the Kings for 150 and win by 24 runs.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals dropped their most recent game. They have eight points and have won four of their last six games. In a hard-fought match, they were defeated by the Lucknow Super Giants in their most recent game.
The Royals limited the Super Giants to 154 runs while taking seven wickets in their opening bowling performance, with Ravichandran Ashwin taking two of those wickets. At the top of the order, Yashasvi Jaiswal (44) and Jos Buttler (40) performed well, but the other batters were ineffective as they missed by 10 runs. In their upcoming matchup against the RCB, they will be attempting to recover.
Let’s look at the key players’ battle:
1. Virat Kohli vs Sandeep Sharma
Virat Kohli is in the form of his life, the way he is batting at the top is marvellous to watch out for the fans. However, he would be challenged by the pace and swing of Sandeep Sharma. As he has good records against King Kohli and most likely will dismiss him again in today’s match.
2. Faf Du Plessis vs Trent Boult
The addition of Faf has boosted RCB’s confidence ever since then RCB has never looked back. Faf is in tremendous form right now and scoring runs consistently for his side. He would be challenged by the dangerous pacer Trent Boult who is lethal in initial overs.
3. Jos Buttler vs Mohammed Siraj
Mohammed Siraj was the man of the match in the last game by picking up 4 crucial wickets and regaining his form for the team. It would be interesting to watch how Buttler plays against him.
