Currently, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are locking horns with Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. After winning the toss, the KXIP skipper, Ravichandran Ashwin asked the hosts to bat first and his decision cost him dearly as Bangalore smashed as many as 70 runs for the loss of a crucial wicket of their skipper Virat Kohli after the first six overs.

During the toss, the RCB skipper said that they have made two changes in their squad as Dale Steyn and Pawan Negi made way for Tim Southee and Washington Sundar. On the other hand, KXIP also made a couple of changes as Ankit Rajpoot and Nicholas Pooran came back to the squad in Harpreet Brar and Sam Curran.
