RCB Team News & Playing 11
RCB Team News
The big call during this game will be whether or not skipper Faf du Plessis is fit enough to field as well as bat. Due to a rib injury, he just batted in the last game with Virat Kohli taking over the captaincy. There are no other injury worries in the squad.
RCB Key Players
- Faf du Plessis- even with a rib injury, the South African hit another 10 boundaries, including five sixes, in the win over Punjab Kings.
- Virat Kohli- the former skipper is likely to be in charge of the team again in the field. He has hit four half-centuries so far in the IPL 2023 season.
- Mohammed Siraj- the right-arm pace bowler has been so consistent in this tournament. He dismissed Atharva Taide, Liam Livingstone, Harpreet Brar and Nathan Ellis in Thursday’s match.
RCB Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Vijaykumar Vyshak, David Willey, Akash Deep, Karn Sharma, Anuj Rawat
26 year old pace bowler Vijaykumar Vyshak came in for Faf du Plessis in the last match and the same substitution could well happen in this match. Anuj Rawat is a hard hitting left-handed batter if additional runs are required.
RCB Team Form
Royal Challengers Bangalore had a convincing win over Punjab Kings in their last game but have won only two of their last five matches.

RR Team News & Playing 11
RR Team News
There was one change for Rajasthan Royals ahead of their defeat to Lucknow Super Giants on Wednesday. Out went Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa with the tall and experienced West Indian all-rounder Jason Holder coming back into the side.
RR Key Players
- Jos Buttler- the English top order batter has hit 244 runs across the tournament and always looks very comfortable at the crease.
- Trent Boult- the left-arm New Zealand pace bowler has delivered three maiden overs in the 2023 IPL and is bowling at a very high level.
- Ravichandran Ashwin- the right-arm spinner has troubled batters irrespective of the venues and the conditions. He is a very accurate bowler.
RR Possible Impact Player Substitutes
M Ashwin, Joe Root, Donovan Ferreira, Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Sen
Navdeep Saini’s pace could be a real threat and would be an option as an impact player. If the pitch is turning than M Ashwin will be a strong choice.
RR Team Form
Rajasthan Royals were going for their fourth successive win but were beaten by Lucknow Super Giants in the last fixture. They need to start another winning run with this match.
RR Predicted Playing 11
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c) (wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jason Holder, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal
