Gujarat Titans have been enjoying their maiden IPL season so far as they are placed at top of the points table. There are many heroes in Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat who have been winning the matches for the team. Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia pulled off a win in the last match vs Sunrisers Hyderabad. With 305 runs, Hardik Pandya is the highest run scorer and will play a crucial role against RCB. Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan have been looking in an excellent form and will pose a challenge to RCB batters.

On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore have lost two consecutive matches and are placed 5th at the points table. Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell have been struggling to score runs and their poor form is a big concern for the team. The middle order has been struggling in the last few matches. The team is relying heavily on their captain Faf du Plessis, Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed. Wanindu Hasaranga is RCB’s leading wicket taker and can decimate any opposition.
