Royal Challengers Bengaluru will lock horns against Gujarat Titans at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru in the 14th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League on Wednesday. After winning two matches on the road, RCB would look to carry their good show on the home ground but they don’t have a promising record in their own den.
Bengaluru’s pitch has always been a paradise for the batters with flat pitch and short boundaries. RCB have always had a star-studded batting line-up but this time they also have a decent bowling line-up as they have quality fast bowlers like Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Meanwhile, Rajat Patidar has started the tournament on a high, scoring runs in the first two matches and these two performances will definitely give him a shot in the arm to lead the franchise with aplomb.
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have won one and lost one so far in the tournament. The top three batters – Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler – have done the lion’s share of the scoring for the team and they would look to carry the good show.
