Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), led by Rajat Patidar, will host Riyan Parag’s Rajasthan Royals (RR) in today’s IPL clash at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB are in strong form, sitting 4th on the table with 10 points from 8 matches, while RR languish in 8th place with just 4 points from as many games.
Rajasthan will be without regular skipper Sanju Samson, handing over the captaincy to Parag once again. The Royals are reeling from four consecutive losses, including two last-over defeats where they failed to chase 9 runs—against Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants.
