RCB vs MI Dream11: RCB for a happy homecoming at Chinnaswamy Stadium against five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians
RCB’s record a Chinnaswamy Stadium is not that great as they have a win percentage of 48. It is the second lowest for teams playing at home in IPL. The low record was due to RCB’s poor bowling attack. Over the last three years though, the Faf du Plessis-led side are well stocked in the bowling department. Mohammed Siraj leads the attack, with Wanindu Hasaranga, Josh Hazlewood, and Shabhaz Ahmed among the mix. Hazlewood will miss the initial few games due to an Achilles heel injury. RCB have able backup option sin Reece Topley and David Willey.
For the batting, the focus will be on Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis to try and post a big total against Mumbai Indians. Skipper Rohit skipped the captain’s trophy meet on March 30, due to illness. However, the India opener is expected to be fit against RCB.
