Led by Virat Kohli, RCB will rely on their strong batting line-up, including players like Rajat Patidar and Phil Salt, while their bowlers like Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will look to capitalize on early pitch conditions. On the other hand, PBKS boasts a well-balanced team with key batters like Shreyas Iyer and Marcus Stoinis, as well as all-rounders Glenn Maxwell and Marco Jansen. Their bowling attack, led by Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal, will aim to put pressure on RCB.
