In match number 32 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) clash with table toppers Rajasthan Royals (RR), at their home ground, M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru on April 23, 2022, Sunday. RCB are heading into the game full of confidence after having registered their third win of the season. The Faf du Plessis-led unit has played six games, winning three and losing the remaining three. For the last few matches, it has been noticed that their top-order batters are performing at their best with Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and, Faf Du Plessis doing the majority of the run scoring. While their bowlers, except Mohammed Siraj, have struggled to stop leaking runs and this proved to be too costly for the side while batting first. Moreover, the venue at the Chinnaswamy stadium has proved to be a batter’s playground with both teams – teams batting first and teams chasing – scoring too many runs during their innings. The match against Rajasthan will see RCB sporting green jerseys in a bid to support the environment cause. IPL 2023: 'It Was Like Winning My First Test', Says Sourav Ganguly After Delhi Capitals Beat Kolkata Knight Riders to Secure Their 1st Win of The Season.

The table toppers, Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are going into the match after having suffered a 10-run defeat against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their last game. The match between Rajasthan and Lucknow saw Lucknow posting a competitive total of 154 because of their batter, Kyle Mayer’s scintillating knock of 51. Rajasthan bowlers, especially Trent Boult (1 wicket), Ravichandran Ashwin (2-fer), Yuzvendra Chahal (1 scalp) and Sandeep Sharma (1 wicket) did well to restrict Lucknow to a below-par score, but Mayers’ magnificent knock helped Lucknow reach a safe total. Batting, at times, has been a cause of concern for Rajasthan, and it was evident during the match against Lucknow, wherein the batters failed to come good with the bat as no batters other than Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler had scored more than 44.
