GT vs RCB: Kohli fifty, Lomror's late heroics takes Royal Challengers Bangalore to 170/6:

Virat Kohli finally scored his first half century of the season before falling to Mohammed Shami. The former Royal Challengers Bangalore captain scored 58 off 53 balls and put up 99 runs for the second wicket with Rajat Patidar, who himself scored 52 off 32 balls. Glenn Maxwell then gave RCB the impetus in the death overs by scoring 33 off 18 balls after which Mahipal Lomror smashed 16 runs off eight deliveries in the end to get RCB to 170/6. Du Plessis earlier said that he chose to bat first simply because of the heat at the Brabourne Stadium. He is just the second captain to choose to bat after winning the toss this season. He reckoned that the pitch and conditions won't change too much and he just wants his team to stay as fresh as possible.

GT vs RCB Live Score:

Gujarat Titans have pegged back Royal Challengers Bangalore after taking two quick wickets in Match 43 of the Indian Premier League at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar both scored their fifties, but departed soon after in quick succession. Glenn Maxwell will look to give RCB a strong finish. RCB were 136 for three after 17 overs. At the toss, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis confirmed that Mahipal Lomror has replaced Suyash Prabhudessai in the playing XI. For GT, Pradeep Sangwan and Sai Sudarshan come in for Yash Dayal and Abhinav Manohar. Buoyed by their win over SunRisers Hyderabad in their previous match, GT are edging closer towards securing a place in the IPL playoffs. RCB, on the other hand, after a decent start find themselves slightly out of pace, and have lost the last two games. RCB have been pretty inconsistent with the bat, and will look to improve and gain the lost yards.

"Not A Kind Of Person Who Needs Rs 10.75 Crore":

RCB Star On Auction Bid: Harshal Patel is a vital cog in the Royal Challengers Bangalore bowling lineup and the pacer bowls the crucial death overs and his slower deliveries are hard to pick for the batters. The pacer's journey changed in the Indian Premier League (IPL), when Delhi Capitals traded him to the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Ever since then, the pacer has not looked back and in the auction held in February this year, he was picked up by RCB for Rs 10.75 crore.

Harshal views the switch from DC to RCB as a pivotal moment in both his cricketing and personal life. Before the IPL 2021 season, Harshal was traded by Delhi Capitals and he joined RCB. In that season, Harshal picked up 32 wickets and he was the winner of the Purple Cap.

RCB vs RR Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Hints:

Royal Challengers Bangalore will be aiming to halt the Jos Buttler juggernaut when they take on Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match on Tuesday (April 26). Attention will be on Virat Kohli as well following his second consecutive first ball duck in the competition.

RCB would be hoping their star batter to be back among the runs besides a much improved performance by the batting unit after a shocker in the previous game. While the Challengers come into the match on the back of a demoralising nine-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan have had two successive wins and are one of the in-form teams this season.

RCB's out-of-touch batting looks to fire against RR's competent bowling in Royal battle:

Start poorly, recover, gain momentum, lose a few and then make a last-ditch climb to the playoffs. This has somewhat been a loose trend both Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals have followed over the past few years. In that sense, being among the early pace-setters is an unusual position to be in.

Royals are slightly better off at present, having racked up impressive wins over Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals to be placed third on the points table with five wins in seven games. Royal Challengers would be relieved their customary mid-season shellacking is out of the way. A forgettable 68 all out two nights ago against Sunrisers Hyderabad leaves them currently at fifth spot, but with five wins in eight.
