Rajasthan Royals take on a Royal Challengers Bangalore side yet to shine. RCB have won and lost a match so far, having scored 205/2 runs but failed to defend that total.
Derbyshire’s batsmen are in for a treat on day two of their One-Day Cup match against Worcestershire at the Wankhede. Matthew Hayden says conditions will be “very very hard” with less grass on the wicket.
RCB have won their last four matches against RR, but rarely do they look this good at this stage of the season.
Sunil Gavaskar says that he is looking forward to seeing what the celebrations will be like if Chahal or indeed, Ashwin dismiss Kohli early on. They have played against each other so often in the nets so Kohli will know all the wares Chahal has.
“I think initially you are trying to understand the conditions, maybe in the first and second over, and then try and take advantage,” he says.
The two teams have faced each other 24 times in the IPL and won 12 times each. Since 2015, RCB have lost just thrice while Mumbai have won 11 of their 14 matches.
