As far as RCB is concerned, they, on the other hand, have found a new hero in Rajat Patidar. The uncapped player scored an unbeaten century in the Eliminator to help his side enter the Qualifier 2.

The top guns of RCB, namely Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli, would be looking to add runs on the board and help their side be at the top.
