RCB vs RR Key Players

Wanindu Hasaranga

Wanindu Hasaranga has been a key wicket taker for Bangalore in the last two years. However, spin at the Chinnaswamy tends to be a different challenge. Chahal has succeeded, and a lot of Bangalore’s hopes will rest on how Hasaranga adjusts to the Chinnaswamy.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Chahal returns to Bangalore. For the best part of his career, Chahal curved himself bowling spin and flighting the ball with a lot of courage, despite well knowing that the small boundaries can go against him. He is among the most, if not the most successful bowlers at the ground, and with Bangalore weak in the middle against spin, he will have a huge role to play.

Stats to Watch Out For

Yuzvendra Chahal at the Chinnaswamy: Chahal knows the Chinnaswamy better than most. Despite the small boundaries, he has made a career out of flighting the ball and picking up wickets decieving batters in the air. He has 51 wickets at the ground, and will be a key weapon for the Royals in the upcoming game.
