Against Rajasthan Royals, who have been in poor form in the last few matches, they may still be difficult to beat, especially when the absence of their explosive batsman Jos Buttler is taken into account. But, RCB’s confidence is higher than ever before in the history of this competition.
The month of May has seen massive changes in the fortunes of both sides. RCB could not win at one point but have now won six in a row, which has helped them write one of the biggest comeback stories in the history of cricket.
RCB has not only won matches but has also kept statisticians, fans, experts etc. busy by breaking records and net-run-rate barriers match after match. Since April 25, when they won their second game against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), till now, they have produced some strong figures after a poor first half.
