Is this the season for Royal Challengers Bangalore?

Virat Kohli and RCB have never won the IPL. SRH had beaten them in 2016 final by eight runs. Could this be King Kohli’s season? For that, RCB will need to start on a strong note, and the Indian skipper will need to be at his imperious best today!

Rashid Khan vs Virat Kohli: Aggression vs magic!

Kohli has registered 5412 runs from 177 IPL matches. Meanwhile, Rashid has claimed 55 wickets from 46 fixtures. Rashid also has the best economy in IPL of 6.55.

David Warner vs Yuzvendra Chahal: Big hitter vs spin wizard!
