Royal Challengers Bangalore preview
Royal Challengers Bangalore are in search of their first IPL trophy, and Faf du Plessis will lead them this year. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis are the lead batters of the side, but the absence of Glenn Maxwell is a big miss. The middle-order of the side looks quite weak in this game.
