Former India opener Virender Sehwag has said that Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are favourites going into their next 2021 IPL match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Wednesday. Notably, RCB are in the third spot with 12 points after 10 matches.

On the other hand, RR are currently placed at seventh, with eight points in 10 matches so far as well. The Rajasthan-based franchise will certainly try for a win against RCB to keep the hope for the playoffs. While a win for RCB will more or less ensure them a playoff spot, a win for RR will certainly make things good for the top-four battle as well.

While speaking on Cricbuzz, Virender Sehwag has said that RCB has had only one bad game in the second phase so far, despite a couple of matches not going their way also. He also shared Wednesday’s contest will be an easy win for them as well.

He said: “Bangalore have only had one bad game since they’ve come to the UAE. Otherwise, they were playing quite well. The expectation is that they will defeat Rajasthan with ease because they have no match-winners except Samson, who is their only man in form. Should be an easy match for RCB.”

Meanwhile, former Indian player Ajay Jadeja stated that both RR and RCB have destructive batting units. He again added that the 2008 IPL champions could match Virat Kohli’s team with the bat if their foreign players do well.

Jadeja said: “Livingstone hasn’t come to the party yet and Bangalore as well as the other teams will hope it stays that way. If RR does manage to win tomorrow, that will make things in the points table even tighter. Livingstone has it in him. If Lewis and Livingstone can get going, Samson will flourish as well. They are two destroyers in the side but it’s a matter of chance as well. RCB have ABD, Maxwell, and Kohli. Two solid batting units are going head-to-head and on their day RR can match RCB with the bat.”
