Exactly a week ago both teams locked horns at Ahmedabad. GT got surrendered to Will Jacks’s merciless carnage within a blink of the eye. Both teams got a week rest and facing each other is a better script than any other drama.
Boundaries, sixes and 260+ scores have become a norm in Chinnaswamy stadium. Arrogant batters and hopeless bowlers became the norm of the Bengaluru this year. Unfortunately, RCB were at the receiving end before last two matches. Suddenly, they trusted their muscular batting instead of their spineless bowling and it reaped rewards. GT on the other end, is the slowest batting PP team in this tournament which hurts them really bad. Rashid Khan’s form impacted GT to the dead end. Batters started to slog sweeping him a lot and Rashid also offering short deliveries a lot in this season. Meanwhile, everyone might have a look at Faf’s inconsistency. GT could bring back Spencer Johnson to trouble RCB batting unit. Mohit Sharma’s expensive figures raised questions about his current form. Swapnil Singh’s addition made RCB as a rejuvenated unit in both batting and bowling.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Probable XI: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (C), Rajat Patidar, Will Jacks, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik (WK), Swapnil Singh, Karn Sharma, Mohammad Siraj, Yash Dayal
Impact Subs: RCB should use their local boy Vysakh Vijayakumar in their bowling. If they lose early wickets, then it would be better to use Mahipal Lomror.
Gujarat Titans Probable XI: Shubman Gill (C), Wriddhiman Saha, Sai Sudarshan, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rahul Tewatia, David Miller, Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan, Sai Kishore, Spencer Johnson, Sandeep Warrier
Impact Subs: Mohit deserves a break and Umesh should play ahead of him in this lineup as impact sub.
Pitch and Weather Report: There is no forecast of rain today, even though the weather around Bangalore looks chill. Once again, the flat track and shorter boundaries are ready to produce high scoring contest.

Contest to look out for:
Rajat Patidar vs GT spinners: Patidar showed his hitting prowess against spin and some glaring weakness against pace. So, it could be the exciting contest.
David Miller vs Siraj: Siraj previously dismissed Miller twice. Both aren’t even in a decent form yet. In death overs, both will try to overcome each other.
