For the first time, RCB, which has been eyeing the title for 17 years, seems to be overpowering the opposing team in both these aspects. RCB i.e. Royal Challengers Bangalore is going to face Rajasthan Royals in the eliminator of IPL 2024 on Wednesday. The team that wins this match is going to make it to Qualifier-2. The journey of the losing team will end here.
This is the 17th season of IPL. Royal Challengers Bangalore is going to compete in the playoffs for the ninth time. Rajasthan Royals, playing its 15th season, has reached the playoffs for the sixth time. That means, in terms of reaching the playoffs, Virat Kohli's team has the upper hand over Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals. Reports say that Rajasthan Royals had won the title of the first season of IPL. But after this she never reached the finals. Royal Challengers does not have a single title so far, but has reached the finals 3 times. This means that even if the RCB team gets stuck in the finals, its record in crossing the first round of the playoffs is very special.
Talking about the form in IPL 2024, RCB is giving its best performance. It has reached the playoffs by winning 6 matches in a row, which must be creating fear in the mind of Rajasthan Royals. On the other hand, the Rajasthan Royals team last won on 27 April. After this, it had to face defeat in 4 out of 5 matches played. One match was washed out due to rain. The good thing for RCB is that most of its batsmen are in form these days. Virat Kohli is the highest run-scorer in the tournament. Opener Faf du Plessis is supporting him well, while Rajat Patidar is handling the middle order. Cameron Green and Dinesh Karthik are also looking in form.
Rajasthan will miss Butler: Not only this, Rajasthan Royals will miss Jos Buttler. England's Jos Buttler has left IPL midway and returned home. Under the leadership of Butler, the England team is going to play T20 series with Pakistan from Wednesday. In the absence of Butler, the pressure on Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has increased even more.
