Virat Kohli is the focus as RCB look to maintain their momentum against Rajasthan Royals
RR vs. RCB: Star Virat Kohli batter Virat Kohli will be in the spotlight when Royal Challengers Bangalore take on table-toppers Rajasthan Royals in the 13th match of the IPL 2022 on Tuesday at Wankhede Stadium.
All Virat Kohli eyes when Royal Challengers Bangalore take on table-toppers Rajasthan Royals in a high-octane Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 clash at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday will be on ex-RCB captain Virat Kohli.
While the Sanju Samson-led RR will be looking to build on their promising start to the season. Faf du Plessis’ RCB will be looking for their second win in the Indian Premier League.
The Wankhede track initially aided the pacers, and both teams can benefit from it. In the IPL, RCB has a 12-10 record against RR (two no-results and one abandoned).
Surprisingly, RCB has defeated RR on all four occasions since 2020.
The first game was won by their top-order batters Faf du Plessis. Virat Kohli, and Dinesh Karthik, while the second game was won by their bowlers Wanindu Hasaranga. Akash Deep, Harshal Patel, and Mohammed Siraj. While Hasaranga will be crucial in containing Samson and company. Pacers David Willey, Akash Deep, and Mohammed Siraj, who combined to take four wickets against KKR, will also need to deliver.
RCB: Royal Challengers Bangalore had a mixed start to the season. As the Punjab Kings defeated them in their first game after failing to defend 205 runs in 20 overs. They did, however, win their next match against the Kolkata Knight Riders, albeit not convincingly. As they almost stuttered in a low-run chase.
RR: With an excellent net run-rate, the Jaipur-based team has won their games and sits atop the points table. RR began the season with a convincing win over Sunrisers Hyderabad and then hammered Mumbai Indians to take the lead in the IPL 2022 points table.
