In their matchup on Thursday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Royal Challengers Bangalore and SunRisers Hyderabad will each be attempting to maintain their chances of making the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 playoffs. To guarantee their place in the IPL playoffs, RCB must win both of their remaining games. The Faf du Plessis-led team has been way too inconsistent. But their recent victory over the Rajasthan Royals has given them a huge advantage in the playoff battle. On the other hand, SRH is currently outside of the top 4 and is at the bottom of the points standings.
One of the leading scorers for RCB, along with captain Faf du Plessis, is Virat Kohli. However, following two consecutive losses (18 against Rajasthan Royals and 1 against Mumbai Indians). The maestro will be eager to perform at his peak against SRH and advance his team’s cause.
Du Plessis has been leading the team from the front and is in excellent form. He is now in first place on the list of run scorers with 631 runs from 12 games, averaging 57.36.
With 438 runs and an average of 39.81, Kohli is the second-best RCB batter, with six fifty-plus hits. But unlike Du Plessis, Kohli has not been reliable enough and has occasionally had issues with his strike rate.
In contrast, SunRise Hyderabad will play for pride after exiting the tournament as the second team.
By winning their final two games, SRH hopes to offer their supporters something to cheer about.
This season, SRH’s performance has been subpar in both bowling and batting.
