RCB lost four goals against Gujarat Titans last week, but in Mumbai they were much more secure – they lost only one goal at the same stage. The contrast was sharp because the aggressive initial partnership of Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal laid a solid foundation. Rajat Patidar earned him a blister 64 out of 32 balls, while Jitesh Sharma added Quickfire 40 of only 19 supplies.

Captain Rajat Patidar and Wicketkeeper-Bater Jitesh Sharma are among the best in the league when it comes to playing rotation.

They may consider the replacement of one of them as a special sailor if the conditions seem less favorable for spinning in Bengalur.
