RCB vs RR: Royal Challengers Bengaluru are set to face Rajasthan Royals for the second time this season, just weeks after their previous encounter. RCB is still chasing its first home win in the campaign, while RR hasn’t secured a victory in the last two weeks. For Rajasthan, the challenge is not just about form but also about breaking a curious pattern and capitalizing on RCB’s struggles at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Aside from the team stakes, fans can also look forward to some exciting personal milestones:
Yashasvi Jaiswal- 2000 IPL Runs
Yashasvi Jaiswal is just 86 runs away from reaching the 2000-run mark in the IPL. Since his 2020 debut, the RR opener has accumulated 1,914 runs at an average of 33 and a 148.71 strike rate. With Sanju Samson out, Jaiswal will be eager to lead from the front.
Riyan Parag- 100 Fours in IPL
Stand-in captain Riyan Parag is two boundaries away from reaching 100 fours in the IPL. In 66 innings, he has already smashed 98 fours and 74 sixes. Making his T20 debut at Chinnaswamy, Parag is likely to hit the mark.
Phil Salt- 50 IPL Sixes
RCB opener Phil Salt is just three sixes away from the 50-mark. With 47 sixes in 29 innings, only Faf du Plessis and Sunil Narine have more among overseas openers.
Tim David- 50 IPL Fours
Tim David of RCB needs just one more boundary to hit 50 fours in the league. Having already notched 50 sixes, he’ll back himself to get there in the next game.
