On the other hand, RCB have won two matches out of the three games they have played. The Rajat Patidar-led side won away fixtures against Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings. However, the return to home ground, M Chinnaswamy Stadium, ended the winning momentum as the side suffered a defeat against Gujarat Titans.
Rohit Sharma did not play in the last fixture for the Mumbai Indians as he got hit during the nets. It needs to be seen whether the right-hander recovers in time for the contest against Virat Kohli's RCB.
