Virat Kohli will be eager to take the team home safely to qualifier 2 as they missed a shot in the finals previous year in the eliminator against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He hasn’t matched his original standards yet and this will be the right time for him to peak and play crucial innings in a high voltage game.

Kohli has scored 366 runs in 14 games this edition and he would have liked to add some more runs to his tally. He was dismissed for just 4 runs in the previous game and he would be looking to stay longer in the qualifier. He has taken advantage of the powerplay and RCB will be hoping he can get those much-needed three figures.

Glenn Maxwell has been a sensation this year for the RCB side and he has been very influential in the wins for the side. The right-hander is the top scorer for RCB this season and he stayed unbeaten on 51 in the previous game to see his side through against Delhi Capitals.

Maxwell can change a game on its head very quickly and he has already amassed 498 runs this season which has been best for the last 7 to 8 years of IPL. He will be key to the success of Delhi against the KKR in the eliminator.

Harshal Patel has been a fine package for RCB this season and his performance was certainly unexpected. He has already broken a lot of records by becoming the highest wicket-taker in a single IPL season for an Indian bowler and he still has some games to go.

Harshal has taken 30 wickets in 14 gamers and his cutters and variations have been very effective so far in IPL 2021 especially. He is looking a lot more determined to perform every game and will be one of the bowlers to watch out for in the IPL 2021 playoffs.
