Royal Challengers vs Gujarat Titans once gave an interesting narrative. The Titans with their bowling might once upon a time would choke sides and their battle against Virat Kohli would often be headline news. Now, the same bowling attack isn't looking as good and Virat Kohli's batting is yet to reach old heights. Bengaluru are looking in really good form this season having finally beat Chennai in Chepauk in a very commanding manner. The bowling attack has bite and the batting line-up looks deep with Tim David finding the long handle well.

Bengaluru gets ready to host its first game. It normally is a slower pitch but the small boundaries make it easy to clear the fence and batting second is a better choice.

Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli is back at his second home. He struggled last game with runs not coming easy for him. For a player who looks to time the ball, he does need a little more pace and Bengaluru might be a challenge as it does not give that sort of pace.
Sai Sudharshan
Sudharshan showed a lot of promise in the first game. He found the boundaries with ease, piercing grounds nicely and also showed brief glimpses of his attacking game as well.
Bengaluru generally struggle at home. Their away record has been good and this time the bowling could well make them look more efficient at home too against a side which is not to deep with the bat but very good with their bowling options.
