The four leading names that make up RCB are Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and Mohammed Siraj. Josh Hazlewood is expected to join the team in forthcoming games to add more balance to the bowling department. The RCB would aim to continue its winning streak.

Kolkata Knight Riders

After losing to Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings back-to-back, Kolkata Knight Riders will enter this match with a losing record. With two victories from seven games, they are currently in ninth place in the points standings. 

Both of their dependable international sensations, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell, have yet to create an impression in the current IPL season. In order to perform better in the upcoming matches, they would want improved team performances and would need their dependable players to step up.
