Info:
- Riyan Parag has hit unbeaten half-centuries in the last two matches and the 22 year old right-hander is well worth backing as Rajasthan Royals’ highest run scorer against RCB. Trent Boult took the Player of the Match Award against Mumbai Indians in Match 14 and the New Zealander is our tip for Rajasthan Royals’ top wicket taker in this match.
- Virat Kohli has been in fine form this season with his runs coming at a strike-rate of 140.97. He is our pick for RCB’s highest run scorer against Rajasthan Royals. Yash Dayal is yet to go wicketless this season and the left-arm medium fast bowler is a strong choice for RCB’s top wicket taker in this clash.
- With scores of 54 not out, 84 not out and 43 so far in the tournament, we recommend selecting Riyan Parag to hit over 31.5 runs in this fixture.

IPL 2024 Live Streaming: The fixture will be live-streamed on SkyGo, Jio Cinema, Willow, Foxtel Go and Kayo.
Toss Predictions:
Toss will be important in this fixture and we are anticipating that the toss winner will choose to bat first as both the previous matches here were won by the team batting first.
If we look at the head to head records between RR and RCB in 2023, both the matches were won by the defending team at this ground as well as RCB’s home ground in Bengaluru.
RR will certainly choose to bat first if they win the toss and if RCB wins the toss there is also a slight chance that they might go for bowling first as batting has been their strong point this season as compared to bowling so they would want to rely more on their batting unit to chase successfully.
Weather & Pitch Report:
Weather: ⛅
It will be a warm evening in Jaipur with the temperature set to drop no lower than 29 degrees. Humidity will not go above 25% and cloudy conditions are forecast throughout.
Pitch Report:
Although we have not seen any scores of 200+ at this venue, a total of 180+ is very much a possibility in this game. There is good pace in the wicket and there is usually some assistance for the quicks during the powerplay.
Spinners are also able to pick some wickets here as Chahal, Ravi Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi have been able to pick wickets. We can expect a balanced contest between the bat and ball and the toss will play a crucial part here.

Team NEWS:
RR Team News:
In spite of Rajasthan Royals coming into the game with a 100% record, there was still one change for them ahead of their last match with South African Nandre Burger coming in. We expect Burger to retain his place with no injury worries for Sanju Samson’s side.
RCB Team News:
There will certainly be plenty of questions being asked by the team management at RCB after their very poor start to the campaign. There were important dropped catches in their last game and with skipper Faf du Plessis talking about strong characters stepping up, we could well see the same XI in this fixture.

Winning Chances:
There are not only four points between Rajasthan Royals and RCB already this season but also six places in the table. RCB have underperformed so far but, with confidence levels low, it will be very hard for the side to suddenly produce a match-winning team performance. Rajasthan Royals have been very impressive with bat and ball so we are backing them to get another win in front of their home fans in this match.
Rajasthan Royals to beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Rajasthan Royals a 71% chance to win this match
Royal Challengers Bengaluru a 29% chance to win this match
Key Players:
Rajasthan Royals
Riyan Parag
It has been an excellent IPL for the young batter so far this season who has been dismissed just once and has hit 181 runs with a strike-rate of 160.17.
Sanju Samson
The Rajasthan skipper has outscored his opening batting pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler. So far in this campaign he has a top score of 82 not out.
Trent Boult
The left-arm pace bowler has a strike-rate of 13.2 in this year’s tournament ahead of this match and took three wickets from four balls against Mumbai Indians.
Nandre Burger
It has been a very strong six months for the South African who has been bowling with genuine speed and hostility. He took another two wickets in the last game.
Yuzvendra Chahal
Chahal is the leading wicket taker of the RR side with 6 wickets in 3 matches at an average of 9.16. He is 7 wickets away from reaching the 200-wicket mark in the IPL. Being a former RCB player, he might be aware of their weaknesses as well.
RR Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Rovman Powell, Tanush Kotian, Kuldeep Sen, Shubham Dubey, Abid Mushtaq
In the last game we saw spinner Yuzvendra Chahal come out of the side for the bowling innings and Shubham Dubey come into the team. We expect a similar approach in this game although Rovman Powell could be a batting impact option.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Virat Kohli
The right-handed opener has already scored over 200 runs in this year’s IPL and he hit his second half-century of the campaign against Lucknow Super Giants in Match 15.
Glenn Maxwell
The Australian all-rounder is yet to produce a big innings with the bat but has been dangerous with the ball taking a two-wicket haul in two games.
Dinesh Karthik
The vastly experienced right-handed batter continues to excel in the finisher role for RCB with scores of 20, 28 not out and 38 not out in the opening three matches.
Yash Dayal
The pace bowler was the most economical of the RCB quick bowlers in the defeat against Lucknow and he has been a consistent performer in the competition.
Faf du Plessis
Skipper Faf has not been very impressive this season but we expect a good knock from his bat in this game to regain his form. In 4 matches he has scored 65 runs at a strike rate of 132.65. His form is crucial for RCB’s outing this season as openers are important for any team. Faf smashed half centuries in the last 2 encounters against RR in the 2023 edition.
RCB Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Suyash Prabhudesai, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Swapnil Singh
Mahipal Lomror came into the side during the batting innings in the last game but there is always the possibility of Dinesh Karthik dropping out during the fielding innings in this match.
Team Forms:
RR Team Form:
Rajasthan Royals have not had a large victory yet this season but they are now targeting their fourth win in a row in IPL 2024.
RCB Team Form:
RCB have picked up one victory so far this tournament but they have also been well beaten in three games.
