Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and they decided to bat first however this decision came in the favour of starting four overs.

RCB lost three wickets in the first powerplay of the first inning.



However, Virat Kohli and Cameron Green made a small partnership of 35 runs for the fourth wicket but this didn't last long and Kohli got out by scoring just 21 runs in 20 balls.

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has picked his three players to watch for in the RCB vs KKR game in the <a href="https://www.iplt20.com" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL) 2023. The match between the teams will take place on Friday (29th March) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.?



RCB vs KKR game promises to be an enthralling game as both the teams over the years have been involved in high octane clash. Not only the competition between bat and ball is high but also the game has seen tempers flare up as well.&nbsp;



With Gautam Gambhir being back with KKR, the rivalry gets even more intense and it?s fair to say that fans at M Chinnaswamy stadium would be up for a feast today. RCB of late has struggled to get going against KKR in the IPL.&nbsp;



RCB last won a home game against KKR in 2015 and since then they have suffered defeats. But with the crowd being in their favour along with quality players this time around, they surely will be favourites to win the game at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.?

With RCB vs KKR game just a few hours away from now, Aakash Chopra has picked three players to watch out for. The cricketer-turned-commentator has backed Virat Kohli to come out good. He believes that his battle against KKR spinners will be key. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he stated:&nbsp;



"The first player I am picking is Kohli because Kohli likes KKR and Kohli has form. You will have to talk about Kohli in whichever team he might be. Kohli's form is good in any case but no one plays spin better than Kohli in this team.?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">RCB vs KKR: Aakash Chopra picks Glenn Maxwell and Mohammed Siraj as the other two players to watch out for&nbsp;</h2>

Aakash Chopra further backed Glenn Maxwell and Mohammed Siraj to come good in the RCB vs KKR. He cited that Maxwell could be a valuable asset for RCB with the ball as well as KKR has a lot of left-handers in the team. He added:?



"The second player I am focusing on is Glenn Maxwell. We all know that Maxi is hit and miss but I am focusing on this player for two reasons. Off-spin - Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh - they (KKR) have four left-handers. When you have so many left-handers, an off-spinner is required.?



For Mohammed Siraj, Aakash Chopra feels that his matchup against left-handers makes him a threatening force for his team. The former India commentator also urged RCB to play Reece Topley instead of Alzarri Joseph in RCB vs KKR.?

KKR vs RCB: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Virat Kohli is on the verge of achieving a massive feat in the <a href="https://www.iplt20.com/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com/">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL). The batter is just 56 runs away from completing 1,000 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the history of the league.?



Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter Virat Kohli will have a great opportunity to achieve the feat in the upcoming KKR vs RCB game. The game between the two rivals will be played on Sunday (21st April) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, in an afternoon fixture.&nbsp;



If Virat Kohli achieves the feat he will become the first player in the IPL to achieve the landmark against three different teams in the Indian Premier League. The batter has achieved the feat against Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings in the league and would be keen to do that against Kolkata Knight Riders.&nbsp;



Virat Kohli has been in tremendous touch in the Indian Premier League. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter is the orange cap holder in the league and is single-handedly carrying the batting lineup of his team in the ongoing league.?

The RCB team is struggling to get going in the league and is reeling at the bottom of the table. Their chances to qualify for the playoffs look bleak but if they manage to win their next few games in the tournament, things can change for them.&nbsp;



For that, Virat Kohli needs to be at his best with the bat and also will need support from the other players as well. The batter so far has mustered 361 runs in 7 games at a strike rate of 147. The batters also have slammed two fifties and one century in the league so far.&nbsp;

Qualification Scenarios of RCB: Royal Challengers Bengaluru's last night win against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium has once again given hope to the franchise as they aim to secure a playoff berth in the ongoing IPL 2024. RCB trounced SRH by 35 runs in Hyderabad on April 25, to bring up their second victory of the season.



The 35-run win also snapped RCB's six-match losing streak in the ongoing IPL season. The franchise had won their last IPL match exactly a month ago at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on March 25 against Punjab Kings.



RCB's campaign in the IPL 2024 hasn't been smooth by any means. They lost the opening game against Chennai Super Kings in Chepauk but managed to win the second game against Punjab Kings. Following the win, they went on a six-match losing streak, which would have been quite uncomfortable, given RCB's skills overall as a team.



Meanwhile, to change their fortunes in the IPL 2024, RCB have now turned the tables with a win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Though the win didn't create any shuffle in the IPL 2024 Points Table, it certainly provided RCB with a winning momentum.



RCB remains at the bottom of the IPL 2024 Points Table with just 4 rating points in nine matches. They have lost seven of their nine games so far. 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Qualification Scenarios of RCB in IPL 2024</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/IPL-2024-RCB-VS-PBKS.jpg" alt="IPL 2024: Qualification Scenarios of RCB, How Can Royal Challengers Bengaluru Qualify for IPL 2024 Playoffs" class="wp-image-128483" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IPL 2024: RCB Won the match against PBKS by 4 wickets | Image Credit: X.com(@IPL)</figcaption></figure>



It looks bleak and discouraging about RCB's qualification scenario in the IPL 2024, but they surely have an outside chance to shock everyone. They have already played out their nine matches, which means they have just 5 matches remaining in the league stages. 



To have a chance, RCB must win all of their remaining IPL 2024 matches, leaving them with 14 points in 14 matches. To supplement their chances to qualify for the iPL 2024 playoff, RCB will also require the top three IPL teams - Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad - to win most of their matches.



This situation would land Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the fourth spot in the IPL 2024 points table after the end of the league stages.



To further make it interesting, RCB also has a chance to seal third place, provided luck favours them big time. To make this a reality, Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, placed second and third in the points table, will have to hit a rough patch, making them lose most of their remaining matches in the IPL 2024.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">RCB's Upcoming Matches to Qualify for IPL 2024 Playoffs</h2>



Surely, RCB has a chance, but it isn't easy by any means. They will take on Gujarat Titans twice in their remaining five matches alongside Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings.



Fortunately, three of these five matches are scheduled to be held at their home venue - M Chinnaswamy Stadium, which will assist them in winning. However, Cinnaswamy has, at times, struggled to aid the home side with the visitors taking advantage of the surface and short boundaries.



It will be interesting to see how RCB plans their moves in the upcoming matches of the <a href="https://iplt20.com">IPL</a> 2024. RCB will take on Gujarat Titans on April 28 in Ahmedabad.

IPL Points Table: A clinical win for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Punjab Kings (PBKS) as they continue their winning run in the ongoing TATA IPL 2024.

Punjab required a lion-hearted effort to chase the colossal 241-run target set by the RCB. Though, PBKS got a few good partnerships, but they lost untimely wickets, which kept hampering their asking rate and eventually resulted in the loss.



After the dismissal of Prabhsimran Singh in the first over of the innings, Jonny Bairstow and Rilee Rossouw stitched a good partnership of 65 runs in the powerplay. The two batters made full use of the powerplay restrictions and kept the scoreboard ticking with their sublime strokeplay, with Rossouw being the aggressor.



Later, Rossouw partnered with Shashank Singh, following the dismissal of Bairstow (27 runs), to add another 36 runs to the score. However, Karn Sharma posed as a roadblock to Rossouw's onslaught in the 9th over.



Well-set Rilee Rossouw was dismissed after a magnificent knock of 61 runs in 27 deliveries. Post Rossouw's wicket none of the PBKS batters managed to get hold of the surface. Even Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, who have appeared as the revelation for PBKS, couldn't resist the scoreboard pressure and succumbed eventually.



PBKS lost wickets on the bounce and RCB were placed comfortably in the fixture to win it. Pacer Mohammad Siraj scalped three wickets, while two apiece were picked by Swapnil Singh, Lockie Ferguson and Karn Sharma.



Eventually, RCB put an end to Punjab's struggle in 181 runs after playing out 17 overs. 



Earlier in the game, RCB posted a humongous 241 runs on the scoreboard owing to a fantastic batting display from Virat Kohli, who played a sublime 47-ball 92-run knock. The innings also saw an outburst from Rajat Patidar, who contributed with a 23-ball 55-run innings, which included 6 sixes and three fours. 



Towards the end of the first innings, Cameron Green also flexed his muscles as he played 46 runs knock in 27 deliveries. 



A comprehensive batting effort, which saw RCB post 241 runs, followed by a scathing bowling attack helped RCB win the fixture against PBKS by 60 runs.



Let's take a look at the IPL Points Table (Updated) on 10th MAY after PBKS vs RCB:

They are placed in the seventh spot with 5 wins from 12 matches. Their net run rate has taken a massive jump, which now stands at 0.217.



On the other side, Punjab Kings (PBKS) has become the second team in the IPL 2024 to get knocked out of the tournament, after Mumbai Indians. PBKS has had an on-and-off season so far. They are currently placed in the penultimate position with 4 wins from 12 matches.

India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
