In the RCB vs GT match, there will be a tremendous clash of aggressive batting and fast bowling. Kohli is fit, while GT is struggling with the middle order. There is every expectation of a high-scoring match on Chinnaswamy’s pitch.
RCB vs GT Match Today: There is a tough competition in IPL today (April 24) between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans. This match will be played at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Let us tell you that last year Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) did not get much home advantage at Chinnaswamy Stadium. The situation is still the same in this season also. However, in today’s match, RCB will try to strengthen their position in the points table with a win, while Gujarat Titans will also try to get into the top-4.
Change in RCB playing XI: Will Bethel get a chance?
It is not easy for RCB to include Jacob Bethel in the team. The only way to make room for him might be to replace Romario Shepherd, but that role doesn’t do full justice to Bethel’s ability. Coach Andy Flower is still confident in Shepherd’s all-round performance. In such a situation, Bethel may have to wait.
Prasidh Krishna vs RCB Batting Lineup
Prasidh Krishna is returning to his home ground and will look to improve his previous poor bowling. In the last match, Tilak Verma had beaten him badly, where he had given 54 runs in 4 overs. This season, Krishna has taken maximum 10 wickets in the middle overs. Whereas RCB is the team scoring the most runs in the middle overs. In such a situation, this competition will be worth watching.
GT’s concerns: middle-order struggles
GT’s middle order is struggling at the moment. The pressure on Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan is increasing. Kumar Kushagra may get a chance. Jason Holder can be included in the team in place of Glenn Phillips.
Pitch Report: Chinnaswamy may rain runs again
This match will be played on the same pitch where the earlier matches between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and DC were held. The match against CSK was high-scoring, with RCB scoring 249 runs. The pitch was dry in the afternoon match against DC, which resulted in a balance between bat and ball. Now this match will be played at night and there is a good layer of grass on the pitch. In such a situation, a high-scoring match is expected once again.
RCB vs GT: How will the weather be in Bengaluru
