Probable Top Players
Probable best batter of the match : Faf du Plessis
Faf du Plessis was in atrocious form in RCB’s previous match against the Punjab side. The right-hander despoiled a 57-ball 88 at the top of the order and played a key task in helping RCB amass a full in excess of 200.
Probable best bowler of the match : Umesh Yadav
Umesh Yadav bowled a atrocious spell in KKR’s opening match against CSK. Yadav scalped two wickets with the ball, and gave runs at an economy rate of just five runs per over. RCB will have to be careful of the threat Yadav possesses.
