The R’s of the IPL take on each other after a gap of two long years. Royal Challengers Bangalore will host Rajasthan Royals at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB had a good start at the home ground by defeating Kings XI Punjab on Friday. Chasing a small total, AB De Villiers led the follow back and smacked some lusty blows to take the Challengers over the victory line.

Rajasthan Royals also won their last match. The Jaipur match was interrupted by rain and it was started very late in the night. Delhi had to chase 71 in 6 overs, which they failed to manage. That was also the first victory for Rajasthan Royals. Both teams will be bidding stay on the winning track.

Here are the five things to look forward to in this encounter –

1.Anushka Sharma’s presence

The first game at the Chinnaswamy stadium was lit up with the presence of Anushka Sharma. The Bollywood star was in attendance to celebrate the first home win of her husband. The urge to perform at his best in front of his wife was clear from the extreme disappointment that flashed in the face of Virat Kohli as he was bowled by Mujeeb Rehman.

The cameras will be again on Anushka Sharma as she is likely to be in attendance again. Rajasthan Royals will be hoping to keep her unhappy.

2. Umesh Yadav on fire

The Indian fast bowler ran in to crush Kings XI Punjab on Friday night. Umesh Yadav running in with induced an outside edge of Agarwal’s bat which was brilliantly caught by De Kock. The returning Aaron Finch had to return to the pavilion immediately as he was trapped on the crease in front of the stumps. The review returned with the call of Umpire’s call.

In came Yuvraj. One of his early pull just went over the fielder’s head situated at the deep square leg position and earned him four runs. He was soon castled by Umesh Yadav as he completely missed the ball that crashed onto the middle stump. One over, four runs and three wickets. The complexion of the match changed completely.

Rajasthan Royals will have to be wary of Umesh Yadav.
