RCB Playing XI: After going down in their opening game against Punjab Kings by 5 wickets, Royal Challengers Bangalore sneaked past a win against Kolkata Knight Riders by just 3 wickets and now they face a stiff challenge in the form of the table-toppers Rajasthan Royals.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore will be stoked with the arrival of Glenn Maxwell, but there’s no confirmed news on whether he will feature in this game or not. That being said, RCB still looks like a formidable unit and can possess a good threat to the table-toppers. How will they shape up to take on RR? Let’s take a look.
