Extremely Strong Is RCB of Team
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), captained by Rajat Patidar, have a great batting lineup in the presence of Virat Kohli, Phil Shault, Devdutt Padikkal and Liam Livingstone. Apart from this, the presence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood and Yash Dayal gives much strength to the bowling unit of the team. If seen at this time, if Virat Kohli and Phil Salat's explosive opening pair is showing amazing in every match, where the experience of these players is giving stability to the team and giving a fast start in power play. At the same time, the young captain of the team Rajat Patidar is also seen in strong form at this time, who is taking the decision fearlessly by strengthening the middle order. The most important thing is that Andy Flower is associated with RCB's head coach, whose coaching experience is also fantastic.
Gujarat Titans Too Show doing Dum
Shubman Gill -led Gujarat Titans (GT) has an explosive team. Jose Butler, Shah Rukh Khan and Sherfen Rutherford are present in the power hitter team which make the team's batting attack dangerous. Apart from this, bowlers like Rashid Khan, Mohammad Siraj and Kagiso Rabada are working to kill the bowling attack of the team. Gujarat Titans has a bang opening combination where England star batsman Jose Butler is shaking well with captain Shubman Gill. Apart from this, the team has the strongest bowling attack in this league, which has the ability to demolish any batting order. However, it is still seen that the team is very much dependent on Shubman Gill and Jose Butler. If these players are flops then it can be difficult for the team to win.
Pitch report
This pitch is very suitable for batting. Black and red earthen pitch is a favorite of fast bowlers due to good bounce, but the special thing in this pitch is that this is a flat pitch where the ball does not move even a slight movement. There is a little help for the fast bowlers here, but it is difficult for the spin bowlers to take wickets here. The highest team and private score in the history of IPL were made on this ground. Bangalore scored 263 runs here. It is beneficial to win the toss and bat in the second innings because the team achieves a faster by chasing the target. Not only this, there is something else in the evening game, due to which it is favorable for another team to bat in the second innings.
