In this long time, RCB was never able to defeat the Mumbai Indians at their home ground, Wankhede Stadium. This time things are looking much different.</p><p>Read More: <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-jasprit-bumrah-deadly-yorker-in-mi-practice-ahead-of-rcb-clash/">WATCH: Jasprit Bumrah deadly yorker in MI practice ahead of RCB clash</a></p><p>Mumbai Indians, the 5-time IPL title winners, are finding their consistent form, and RCB, yet to achieve their first IPL silverware, is in a better shape from the beginning of the tournament. According to head-to-head stats of the last 5 encounters between these two rivals, RCB has better numbers than the Mumbai-based team. Royal Challengers Bengaluru was better than MI in 3 matches out of the last five, while Mumbai won 2. But in the last two faceoffs, he had the better hand, and both of the matches were in Wankhede.</p><p>RCB is now looking better than before; the side looks very much balanced and gains much-needed momentum, which can drive the team for a long run.In 2015, Wankhede Stadium witnessed the high-scoring, neck-to-neck rivalry and an all-time record-breaking partnership between two players, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.</p><h3>This was how RCB outclassed MI at Wankhede&nbsp;</h3><p>The South African batter's unbeaten 133 off 59 balls innings was well accompanied by Virat Kohli's unbeaten 82 off 50 balls knock. In total, Kohli and Villiers hit eight 6s and 25 boundaries together. Bowlers like Lasith Malinga and Jasprit Bumrah had no clue that they had to stop that rampage. RCB put 235/1 on the scoreboard before Mumbai Indians went all-out to accomplish the near-impossible task. Two West Indies batters, Lendl Simmons &amp; Kieron Pollard, were toying with RCB bowlers. At the end, RCB claimed their only victory in Wankhede by 39 runs.</p><p>Virat Kohli is now beyond his prime days, and AB has already retired. RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, will face Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians. After losing 3 in 4 matches, MI is now at the 8th spot of the IPL 2025 points table, and RCB, with 2 wins and one loss, is at number three.</p>]]></content:encoded>
