The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have lost three out of four games. The bowling attack has proved ineffective this season, causing a lot of worry for the side. The powerful batting lineup hasn’t been at its best. The Rajasthan Royals have their batsmen in good form and won all three games. It will be interesting to see if the RCB can bounce back and stop the Rajasthan Royals' charge.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Rajasthan Royals Preview
It has been a bold start from Sanju Samson's side. They have demolished opponents and defeated the Mumbai Indians by 6 wickets in the last game. The side sits second on the points table, and they will look to move to the top with another win. Samson would like a strong show from his players to build momentum for the rest of the season.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler are demolition experts, and the side will need an electrifying start from them. Samson has done well in the middle order and will look to add runs with in-form Riyan Parag and Shubham Dubey. Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, and Ravichandran Ashwin add firepower to their batting.
The bowling attack delivered a punch to Mumbai Indians in the last game, and the side will expect a similar burst of destructive bowling from Trent Boult and Nandre Burger with the new ball. Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal have a lot of experience and shall aim to trouble the RCB batters. Avesh Khan and Parag will look to do well in the supporting roles.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview
Faf du Plessis and his men will be under pressure. They suffered a 28-run loss against the Lucknow Super Giants in the last game, their third loss in four games. The bowling attack has looked rusty, and the middle order hasn't found its form. Their opponents haven't lost a game, and RCB will face a big challenge. Faf du Plessis would like his senior players to accept the challenge and do well.
Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis are the only batters who have done well, and the side will need a strong start from the pair. The form of the middle order is a worry for the side, and they need better performances from Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, and Cameron Green. They have depth in the batting and need strong performances from Dinesh Karthik, Anuj Rawat, and Mahipal Lamror.
The bowling attack has let the side down, and they will face a stiff challenge. They will need a good spell from Reece Topley and Yash Dayal with the new ball. As was expected, Mohammad Siraj hasn't been at his best, and he will need to bowl better lines in the middle overs with Maxwell. The side will need a good show from Mayank Dagar and Green in the middle overs.
Top Batsman – Virat Kohli
Top Bowler – Mohammed Siraj
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Predicted Playing XI:
Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Rajat Patidar, Dinesh Karthik, Anuj Rawat (wk), Mayank Dagar, Reece Topley, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal Mahipal Lomror (Impact Player)
Weather Conditions
We will see clear skies at Jaipur on April 6, and the conditions will be perfect for the game. The pitch will be a good one to bat on, where fast bowlers won't have much support. The first side batting would target 180 plus to feel comfortable on this surface
RR vs RCB Pitch Report
Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, is one of the best batting surfaces in India. The wicket has true bounce and pace, and the fast outfield allows batsmen to score runs easily. There is little on this surface for the fast bowlers, but spinners who mix their length and turn the ball do well on this track.
Toss: To Bowl
This wicket is tough to defend scores. It can be tricky to bat at the start of the game, but the batting conditions improve as the game progresses. The side winning the toss will take a cue from the record at this venue and look to bowl first and dismiss the opposition to a small total.
