The Top 3 of RCB batting lineup -Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell – has consistently performed for RCB with explosive innings. However, RCB’s middle-order batting has been a concern, with Mahipal Lomror and Dinesh Karthik failing to deliver. Anuj Rawat’s valuable cameo in the previous match ensured a competitive total, but the lack of depth and quality in the batting lineup remains a big worry for the management.
RCB’s bowling lineup lit up at Swai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur as they dismissed the Rajasthan Royals for a mere 59 runs in their previous outing. Mohammed Siraj has been consistently impressive, while Wayne Parnell’s exceptional spell in the last match has provided more depth to the side. Michael Bracewell also came in handy as the all-rounder picked 2 wickets. He alongwith Karn Sharma will be crucial in Hyderabad.
As RCB faces a must-win scenario, their top-three batsmen must fire to provide a strong foundation, while the middle-order needs to step up and contribute more.
