Kuldeep Sen comes in place of Obed McCoy; Daryll Mitchell comes in place of Karun Nair.

They also dominate in the head-to-head stats. While Bangalore has won 13 times, Rajasthan has 10 victories in all 23 matches the teams have played against each other. 

Jos Buttler hitting tons, Virat Kohli's slump, Rajasthan flying high, and Bangalore coming from an embarrassing loss, the 39th match of the Indian Premier League 2022 season will see 2 contrasting sides facing off at the Maharashtra Cricket Stadium, Pune on Tuesday.

Bangalore who were all out for mere 68 runs will be expected to come out stronger against Rajasthan Royals. After 2 consecutive ducks, Kohli's performance will also grab eyeballs. However, if their power-hitters, Faf du Plessis, Shaahbaaz Ahmed, Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik go all out and perform they can prove tough for the Rajasthan bowlers. Read More
