IPL's ninth edition will see its first qualifier match today between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Lions at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore.
Despite not so impressive performance by RCB, led by Virat Kohli in the first half of the league, RCB came fully performed during the second half proving they have the power to beat any team. And this time they enjoy the home advantage as well against Gujarat Lions.
