Contest at Chinnaswamy Stadium between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals promises to be a runfest as both teams bank on their strong batting ammunition

It’s been a strange season for Royal Challengers Bangalore. After six games, they boast the Orange Cap holder (Faf du Plessis) as well as Virat Kohli in the top three run-getters of the IPL. And, following his four-wicket burst against Punjab Kings on Thursday, paceman Mohammed Siraj took possession of the Purple Cap with 12 wickets.
Yet, the team lies fifth with three wins and as many defeats, indicative of the inconsistency that has plagued their campaign.
