RCB and PBKS will play their IPL 2022 season opener tonight at the DY Patil Stadium. Both have new skippers — Faf du Plessis and Mayank Agarwal for RCB and PBKS, respectively. On paper, RCB is stronger than the PBKS squad, but it all comes down to in-game performance. Faf was the orange cap winner the previous IPL season and will be looking forward to carrying the form.
