RCB vs RR, Wankhede Stadium. Rajasthan Royals have been playing like champions in the IPL 2022. Be it bowling or bowling, and they have ticked all the boxes. On the other hand, RCB looked good on paper but turned out to be let down on every department. Batting woes continue for RCB despite having batters like Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis. Devdutt Padikkal, Yuzi Chahal, and Navdeep Saini are set to play against their former team, RCB.
The absence of Glenn Maxwell is hurting RCB's IPL 2022 campaign. That middle-order stability is missing despite Kohli batting at number 3. Another blunder RCB is doing with Dinesh Karthik. While Maxwell is not present, he should bat at number 4. The bowling burden is likely to go down because Hazlewood and Behrendorff are available for selection. But neither of them is expected to be included in the team. David Willey plays as an all-rounder and provides a crucial left-arm fast bowling option. Virat Kohli's weakness against left-arm pacers is a known issue, but he never threw his wicket to Trent Boult in T20s! But Kohli against Chahal is the battle to watch tonight.
Yuzi Chahal and R Ashwin are magical spin-twins for RR this season. Most importantly, Krishna, Boult, and Saini are in excellent form. Hetmyer is providing his contribution as a hard hitter exceptionally well. It will be no surprise if he is promoted up in the order. Harshal Patel has troubled RR in the past. Also, Siraj against Buttler is the battle to watch tonight.
