RCB win against Mumbai on individual performance

The batting performance of the RCB team in the match against Mumbai was not much. The team managed to win thanks to some individual performance. All-rounder Harshal Patel bowled well in the death over and took 5 wickets. At the same time, Virat played an innings of 33 runs as an opener. He needs to convert a good start into a big score.

RCB relies on Maxwell and de Villiers in the middle order

At the same time, in the middle order, Glenn Maxwell made some great shots and lowered the pressure of RCB. They will be expected to play the same role in the next match. AB de Villiers was seen playing the role of RCB finisher as usual. In this match too, the team's batting will depend on them.

Padikkal may return in place of Rajat Patidar

However, there has been a problem with the opening RCB. In the match against Mumbai, Virat Washington opened the opening with Sundar. Sundar could not do anything special and was dismissed for 10 runs. At the same time, Debutant Rajat Patidar, who came to bat at number three, was dismissed by scoring only 8 runs. Devdutt Padikkal may return in his place. Padikkal was the highest run-scorer in Bengaluru last season. He scored 473 runs in 15 matches.

The 20-year-old Padikkal was in superb form in two domestic tournaments.

The 20-year-old Padikkal had a 5 Fifth studded last season. He was also in excellent form in the recently held Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy. In the Syed Mushtaq tournament, he scored 218 runs in 6 matches at an average of 43.60, and in Vijay Hazare 737 runs in 7 matches. Padikkal did not play in the match against Mumbai due to recovery from Corona.

Azharuddin and Jampa may return to RCB team

Besides, the team can make 2 changes. Wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Azharuddin and Australia's leg-spinner Adam Jampa may get a chance. In such a situation, Virat will have to make some changes in the team combination. Zampa could be included in Daniel Christian and Azharuddin replacing spinner Shahabad Ahmed. In bowling, Harshal, Kyle Jameson, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Mohammad Siraj are in good form.

Opening pair is a matter of concern for the Hyderabad team

Talking about Hyderabad, the opening and top order is still a concern for the team. In the last match against Kolkata, Wriddhiman Saha was sent for the opening with Warner. But he could not do anything special and was dismissed after scoring only 7 runs. In such a situation, the team management can send this in-form batsman Johnny Bairstow for the opening in this match.
