RR Team News & Playing 11
RR Team News
In spite of coming into the team two games ago, England’s Joe Root is still patiently waiting to face a ball in the IPL for the first time. After such a big win in their last game, we expect Rajasthan Royals to select the same XI in this match.
RR Key Players
- Yashasvi Jaiswal- in spite of hitting 575 runs in IPL 2023 so far, Yashasvi Jaiswal is still one run behind Faf du Plessis in the Orange Cap race. Both will want to outscore the other in this match.
- Sanju Samson- the 28 year old keeper-batter-skipper continued his strong form with 48* against Kolkata Knight Riders. He has not hit 114 runs without being dismissed from his last two innings.
- Yuzvendra Chahal- the spin bowler was the top wicket taker in the tournament last year and dismissed Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh and Shardul Thakur in the last game.
RR Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Obed McCoy, Jason Holder, Riyan Parag, Adam Zampa, Devdutt Padikkal
It is always tough to predict who will come into the team during the match but Devdutt Padikkal has an excellent batting T20 record. Riyan Parag has a top score of 77 not out in T20 cricket.
RR Team Form
After three successive defeats, the win by nine wickets with 41 balls remaining was a huge relief for all who follow Rajasthan Royals.

RCB Team News & Playing 11
RCB Team News
After successive defeats and a poor run of results in the tournament, there will be plenty of pressure on the team management for Royal Challengers Bangalore to make a change or two ahead of this game. However, their best XI looks likely to be the same one selected in the last match.
RCB Key Players
- Virat Kohli- the right-handed opener has had an excellent season but made only one against Mumbai Indians and will be determined to contribute in this match.
- Faf du Plessis- the skipper’s consistency in terms of runs scored and his strike-rate have been very impressive throughout the tournament. He hit a further eight boundaries on Tuesday.
- Wanindu Hasaranga- the Sri Lankan spinner picked up the wickets of both openers for Mumbai Indians. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan, in the last game.
RCB Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Kedar Jadhav, Michael Bracewell, Suyash Prabhudessai, Karn Sharma, Shabaz Ahme
Kedar Jadhav came in as the impact sub in the last game and made some quick runs but spinner Sharma could well be the player they turn to in this match.
RCB Team Form
After being in contention at the top of the table throughout the season, Royal Challengers Bangalore are now slipping down the table after losing three of their last four matches.
RCB Predicted Playing 11
Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Anuj Rawat, Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Wanindu Hasaranga, Josh Halewood, Mohammed Siraj, Vijaykumar Vyshal, Harshal Patel

🏆 RR vs RCB Prediction
Although Rajasthan Royals did get the win in their last match, both teams come into this game without any strong form over the last four games. However, we still expect a high scoring fixture and would not be surprised if the game is still alive ahead of the last over. Our prediction is for the batting trio of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson to do the damage and for Rajasthan Royals to win.
