Royal Challengers Bengaluru will return to their home ground for the first time when they take on Punjab Kings at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday for another match of IPL 2024. Virat Kohli’s team will look to return to winning ways against high-flying Punjab Kings. There will be a lot of interesting battles to look forward to in the match. Here we take a look at the interesting match-ups between both teams.
Virat Kohli vs Kagiso Rabada
Virat Kohli will be looking to hit peak form as early as possible after scoring just 21 of 20 balls in the match against Chennai Super Kings. Kagiso Rabada on the other hand did not have an ideal outing either, conceding 36 runs with only a single wicket to his name. However, Kohli has struggled against Rabada in IPL, scoring just 27 runs in 6 matches and getting out three times. It will be interesting to see how he manages Rabada this time around.
Arshdeep Singh vs Glenn Maxwell
Arshdeep Singh was the pick of the bowlers for Punjab against Delhi Capitals. The left-arm seamer took two wickets giving away only 28 runs. He also became the 4th highest wicket taker for Punjab courtesy of his two wickets. Maxwell on the other hand had a forgettable outing against CSK, getting out on a golden duck. Can he turn his fortunes around against Arshdeep and co.?
