Updated - 02 Oct 2020, 01:22 PM
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will host Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi in a double-header clash on Saturday. RCB and RR have started their campaign in the IPL 2020 in similar fashion with both teams winning two out of their three encounters but the former ahead due to superior net run rate.
RCB won their last match in a thrilling Super Over game against Mumbai Indians. Captain Virat Kohli will look to bring in his best game in the clash against Rajasthan Royals to help his side maintain their position in the top four. Let us have a look at how RCB can line up for the clash against Rajasthan Royals.
Devdutt Padikkal
Young Devdutt Padikkal made a head start to the IPL 2020 with a fine half-century. He however failed to get going against KXIP. Padikkal will look to return back to form and give his team a solid foundation with RCB face Rajasthan Royals. The southpaw has the ability to score quick runs and found the boundaries. He will look for consistency in his batting approach.
Aaron Finch
Virat Kohli
AB de Villiers
Josh Philippe
Josh Philippe caught attention with his quick-fire knocks in the Big Bash League (BBL). The Australian is touted to be the next big thing in the limited-overs and often been said to be the next Steve Smith. Philippe however has not reflected it through his performances in the IPL 2020. He is yet to unleash his best potential for the RCB.
Washington Sundar
RCB all-rounder Washington Sundar contributed with a 30-run knock in the previous match but failed to pick up any wicket. Sundar will be a key for RCB in the middle-order to get among the scoresheet. The Bangalore franchise will also expect him to score crucial runs in the middle.
Shivam Dube
Umesh Yadav
Experienced Indian fast bowler Umesh Yadav has struggled for form in the IPL 2020. He is one of the key fast bowlers for RCB squad but has not delivered as per expectations. Yadav has conceded too many runs for the Bangalore franchise but will look to come up with a much-improved game in the upcoming match against Rajasthan Royals.
Navdeep Saini
Dale Steyn
Veteran South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn is not at his usual best. He has lost his touch and not as effective as he used to be. Steyn has also not come in handy for the RCB bowling line-up but his presence is a morale booster for the side.
Yuzvendra Chahal
Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal will play the most vital role in RCB bowling attack. In the slow pitches in UAE, Chahal has proved to be a match-winner and will look to deceive the Mumbai Indians batsmen with his spin.
