RCB predicted to play in XI vs PBKS: Livingstone out, Beethell in?

Royal Challengers Bangalore will be keen to take an accurate revenge of PBK after a 5 -wicket defeat at home. The rain-hit tie at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium saw Shreyas Iyer & Co.. Successfully pursue a target of 96 runs with about two overs. RCB is once again against the same PBK, this time in Mulanpur.

Batsmen need to step

RCB’s concerns are not about his bowling, as Josh Hazlewood said after PBK’s defeat in Bengaluru. But this is the intention shown by the batsmen, especially in Powerplay. The top six batsmen need to go on blazing all the guns continuously, which is correct with the word.

The choice of salt, kohli and Patidar has the ability to accelerate will and should be kept for good use to combat PBKS bowlers. RCB can also see Liam Livingstone to leave and play Jacob Bethel instead.

Livingstone has been highly incompatible with the bat in the last four matches, managing only the registration of singles. Instead, the team can opt for their England team partner, which is still ready.

Tim David will be expected to continue his role as a finisher with Jitesh Sharma.

Krunal Pandya with the ball will play an important role for RCB, especially in dealing with Shreyas Iyer Menus. He will be supported by Bethel and Suyash Sharma.
