Unbeaten Rajasthan Royals will face Royal Challengers Bangalore at their home venue in Jaipur. RR is presently second in the standings, scoring six points in three matches. Meanwhile, RCB is in eighth place with two points after four games. Since their batting order has lacked consistency and form this season, RCB has been dealing with the same set of issues. Virat Kohli is in incredible form and leads the Orange Cap race, but he has not received much help from his teammates. Aside from Kohli, Dinesh Karthik has been the only in-form hitter for RCB, who are currently in serious difficulties.
One game, 2 centuries, and a royal victory. The Rajasthan Royals showcased their dominance in the chase even after losing the wicket early on. Senior batters Virat Kohli, Sanju Samson & Jos Buttler showed that IPL is not only for the young uncapped players, experience also is equally important. RCB's batters are still yet to address their ongoing challenges with their top-order batsmen out of form except for Virat. RCB needs to gather themselves and strike a perfect team combination going ahead in the tournament.
