The inform Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on Rajasthan Royals in an Indian Premier League (IPL) eliminator match.
Rajasthan Royals were once the table topper but due to their recent defeats they moved to third position while RCB, who were almost out of the IPL, came back strong and made it to the playoffs.
In the Last 5 matches, RR has won 4 matches and their last match was washed out whereas RCB has won all their 5 matches.
RCB is in top form with their skipper Faf du Plessis and star batter Virat Kohli giving them a good start. kohli is the top run scorer in this IPL season.
In the Middle order, Rajat Patidar and Cameroon Green have been scoring well for the team with Dinesh Karthik performing well in the end overs.
RCB bowlers were able to defend targets, they have won 4 of their last 6 matches batting first. Yash Dayal has picked 15 wickets this season and his crucial last over against CSK helped RCB book a playoff berth. Siraj, Maxwell and Green should also be looked out for.
Rajasthan Royals are on a losing streak but they cannot be easily written off. With Buttler off the team, RR will be relying on three batters - Riyan Parag, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal, whose performance has been crucial for the team.
Yuzvendra Chahal will be the pick of the bowlers, with 17 wickets in this season he will be the bowler to be looked out for.
