GT vs RCB key match-up

It took Rashid Khan a while to start making an impact in the IPL 2024, but in the last three games, he has been exceptional. Rashid has a stellar record against each and every one of the star bats for RCB. Dinesh Karthik and Faf du Plessis have both been dismissed three times by him.
 

This season, Rashid has been dangerous against right-handed hitters, allowing over one run per over. Mahipal Lomror is the lone left-hander that RCB has used in their last two contests.

Having said that, RCB has significantly improved their performance this season against spin compared to the previous two. Thanks mostly to Rajat Patidar, they have struck at over 175 and averaged over 40 against leg spin. However, Virat's struggle against spinners is a major cause of concern for RCB.
