Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan are the new openers of the side, whereas Liam Livingstone will handle the middle-order. Jonny Bairstow will be a big miss in this game. Shahrukh Khan will handle the lower order, and the arrival of Odean Smith has been excellent for the side. Kagiso Rabada will lead the pace attack along with Sandeep Sharma and Arshdeep Singh.

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.
