RCB라이브 바카라 commanding 50-run victory over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) highlighted their dominance, with Rajat Patidar라이브 바카라 vital 51-run innings playing a key role. With a well-rounded squad stepping up in crucial moments, they comfortably hold the top spot in the standings and will be eager to extend their winning streak in front of their home supporters.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans, currently in fourth place, have experienced a mixed start to their season. After a disappointing loss in their opening match, they bounced back with a convincing 36-run win against the Mumbai Indians, thanks to Sai Sudharsan라이브 바카라 impressive 63-run knock. The Titans will now look to carry that momentum forward and challenge RCB on their home ground.
Phil Salt vs Kagiso Rabada
RCB's explosive English batter Phil Salt has emerged as a standout performer in the early part of the season. He started IPL 2025 with a scintillating 56 off just 31 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders, hitting nine fours and two sixes. His aggressive intent at the top of the order has set the tone for RCB라이브 바카라 batting line-up.
However, Gujarat Titans will bank on their senior pacer, Kagiso Rabada, to counter Salt라이브 바카라 aggression. While Rabada is known for his raw pace and wicket-taking ability, he has not had the best of starts in IPL 2025. Adding to the challenge, Salt boasts a formidable strike rate of over 176 against Rabada in T20 cricket and has only been dismissed by the South African speedster once.
Jos Buttler vs Bhuvneshwar Kumar
The contest between Jos Buttler and Bhuvneshwar Kumar has largely favored the English batter, as he rarely falls to the experienced Indian pacer. In IPL matchups so far, Buttler has scored 61 runs off 53 deliveries at a strike rate of 115.09, having been dismissed only twice. With an average of 30.5 against Kumar, who holds the record for the most powerplay wickets in IPL history, Buttler has managed to navigate his spells effectively.
Virat Kohli vs Prasidh Krishna
RCB라이브 바카라 former captain and talisman, Virat Kohli, has looked in sublime form this season. He played a match-winning knock in RCB라이브 바카라 opening victory, reminding everyone why he remains one of the most formidable batters in the IPL. Kohli라이브 바카라 hunger for runs and ability to anchor the innings make him the key to RCB라이브 바카라 batting success.
However, Gujarat Titans’ pace spearhead, Prasidh Krishna, has been a thorn in Kohli라이브 바카라 side. The fast bowler played a crucial role in GT라이브 바카라 victory over Mumbai Indians, picking up two vital wickets at the death. History favors Prasidh in this matchup, as he has dismissed Kohli three times in IPL encounters. Additionally, Kohli has an underwhelming strike rate of just 109.84 against Krishna, making this a crucial battle in the match.
