Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals bizarrely have similar worries to address when they face each other in an IPL 2024 match in Jaipur on Saturday, 6 March 2024, at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, all the eyes of the nation are totally aimed and looking forward towards the face-off between RR the team who is on the top of the leader board, and RCB who is unfortunately on the bottom of the leaderboard.
The eighth place where RCB is currently on the 10-team table is a fair indication of their troubles, but Rajasthan’s all-win record so far and the resultant second place do not necessarily mirror their turmoil.
An underwhelming top order is the intertwining factor between them
The RCB top order comprising skipper Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, and Rajat Patidar is a storehouse of talent and explosiveness. But none of them have fired either in isolation or in unison, except star batter Virat Kohli, the current Orange Cap holder with 203 runs, who has made two fifties.
Patidar showed a glimpse of his clean shot-making abilities while registering 29 in their 28-run defeat against Lucknow Super Giants, but he needs to do a lot more to prop up the RCB middle-order.
The Bengaluru outfit will hope for a reversal at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium, a venue that carries similar traits as RCB’s home – Chinnaswamy Stadium – in terms of a smooth pitch and a blistering outfield adding value to the batters’ shots.
Yashasvi Jaiswal entered this iteration of IPL on the back of some excellent recent efforts, but the left-handed opener has made just 39 runs from three matches, and Jos Buttler offers a similar story. The England T20 captain is yet to be in his intimidating self and has managed 35 runs from three outings and his strike rate across these matches is a mere 85.
The Royals’ batting has largely revolved around captain Sanju Samson (109 runs, one fifty) and the highly-improved Riyan Parag (181 runs, 2 fifties) and at some point, the duo will require solid support from others.
Rajasthan(RR) team’s Strength and Weakness
Rajasthan has an edge over their opponents in the bowling department. Pacers Trent Boult and Nandre Burger and veteran leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal have worked up a nice early rhythm and have shared 16 wickets between them. The out-of-touch Bengaluru batters might just find it tough to tackle the trio on its home turf.
The lone missing piece in Rajasthan’s bowling, rather surprising at that, is the patchy form of Ravichandran Ashwin, who has taken one wicket from three matches while giving away 8.3 runs per over. But the seasoned off-spinner can turn that around quickly, and he has a fine record against RCB as well.
