In the eliminators with the help of miraculous knock of 112* on 54 balls by Rajat Patidar Royal Challenger Bangalore broke their jinx of not reaching qualifier 2. Last weekend RCB was on the verge of getting knocked out of playoff race, a lot depended on Mumbai Indian defeating Delhi Capitals. Indeed MI won and helped RCB finish at top 4.
The designated death bowler Harshal Patel has recovered efficiently from the hand injury. And with the likes of in-form Rajat Patidar and Dinesh Karthik, they look up to the match against Rajasthan Royals.
As for the Royals, their weakness of playing 6 batsmen and 5 bowlers in T20 cricket was exposed. With slow and struggling Jos Butler at top and inefficient Shimron Hetymer in middle, a lot depends on captain Sanju Samson who had an impressive outing in last game.
Head to Head, RR and RCB have played 24 games against each other in which RCB has a slight hand over RR with 13 wins while RR has won 11 games.
So it’s Faf vs Sanju, Chahal vs Hasaranga and Paddikal vs Patidar, on 27th May, evening at 7:30 pm IST.
