Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is gearing up for their next Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on April 26, Tuesday. RCB, who are coming off a heavy defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be looking to shake their last game as a ‘one-off’ and hope to stamp their authority in the league table once again.
The consistency of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis has often been scrutinized by the fans and the pundits, and one might see a change or two in terms of the combination that Bangalore goes with today.
