RCB plays 11 times with Mumbai Indians – IPL 2025, match 20:

Bottle opener: Philip Salt, Virat Kohli

Former captain Virat Kohli will join Philip Salt in running for Royal Challenger for the Bangladeshi Indians in Mumbai. The duo started the game with a positive attitude and failed to play in the final match against GT.

British opener Philip Salt found it difficult to play a free-flowing inning on a wicket that brought something to the bowler and couldn’t take advantage of the opportunity given to the situation Buttler gave him.

It was also discovered that Virat wanted to play against GT and fell into a trap set by Arshad Khan, aiming his short ball against his body, thus not allowing Kohli to release his arm to take over the bowler.

The two wanted to correct mistakes in the match against the Mumbai Indians and wanted to replicate their radical approach to CSK.

Mid-range batsman and all-rounder: Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (C), Liam Livingstone, Jeetesh Sharma (WK), Tim David Krunal Pandya

RCB wants their mid-range batsman, especially Devdutt Padikkal, who looks good but hasn’t been able to convert to big scores yet, Rajat Patidar played a game-winning game against CSK to beat MI to get these extra 10-15 runs, which can be crucial at the end of the game.

On the other hand, the Rajat Patidar-led side also hopes batsmen Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma and Tim David continue to have the good form they have shown in the game so far.

Bowlers: Suyash Sharma, Josh Hazlewood, Yash Dayal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The formula for how the RCB has not yet cracked the total number of defending at their home court, and in the last game they were unable to haunt the team again in the last game against the GT because they failed to defend a total of 169 runs on the useful wicket and therefore could not break the entire team.

One reason for the failure is that RCB bowlers are unable to apply pressure from both hands, and inexperienced fast bowlers such as Rasikh dar and Yash Dayal eliminate the pressure that Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood have in the first six softballs.

RCB’s spin division is handled by experienced all-around player Krunal Pandya and young leg spinner Suyash Sharma, who have no chance of a GT on the two-tempo wicket.
