The visitors have blown hot and cold in the season and have struggled in the middle overs, particularly. They will look at their captain once again to find some inspiration while RCB's whole team has been chipping in with some important contributions on and off.
Expect a high scoring match and the home side having an edge over KKR, considering the forms and familiarity to the venue.
Josh Hazlewood's absence could hurt the Royal Challengers, however, they have some good depth with Lungi Ngidi and Rasikh Dar as their other bowling options.
