Royal Challengers Bangalore team news
Although AB de Villiers and Kohli did not click with the bat, the failure would prompt them to score runs and put up a big total for the Royal Challengers. RCB might draw some inspiration from their match-winning knocks of an unbeaten 59 by de Villiers and 67 by Kohli, against Punjab when they met in the first leg. However, their bowling remains a worry despite the arrival of Dale Steyn. RCB's bowling was exposed once again in the last match here when Dhoni almost pulled off the impossible chasing 162, needing 26 runs off the last over bowled by Umesh Yadav.
The visitors ultimately fell short by just one run with wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel saving the day for RCB by running out Shardul Thakur when CSK needed two off the last ball. It was RCB's only third win in 10 games in the season so far.
