Grand league punts
This clash will see the battle between the top to leading run-getters in IPL 2023, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Faf du Plessis coming up against eacg other. However, while Jaiswal is yet to be dismissed by spinners (SR 155.47), du Plessis has shown susceptibility against them, especially the leg-spinners, who have dismissed him thrice. With RR having the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal and potentially Adam Zampa up their sleeves, it could be a great move to introduce them early against the RCB skipper.
After starting off IPL 2023 well, Jos Buttler has gone into a shell, having gone past 30 just once in his last six innings. Buttler has been terrific at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium, having hit 604 runs here at a strike-rate of 140.5, which includes five fifties in 14 innings. He will be up against RCB, who are one of his favourite opponents, having scored 412 runs against them at a strike-rate of 152. He has scored more runs in the IPL only against Punjab (435) and Mumbai (485).
