Both teams saw different results in their first game. While RCB lost to Chennai Super Kings in Chennai and would like to open their winning account, Dhawan Led Punjab Kings would like to continue their momentum after winning the first game in their home against Delhi Capitals. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be led by Faf du Plessis and Punjab Kings will be led by Shikhar Dhawan.

M Chinnaswamy Stadium Analysis 

This pitch is considered as the flattest pitch among all other stadiums, offering very little help to the bowlers it is a joyful ride for batters. It’s batter’s paradise, with short boundaries as well. Bowlers struggle to stop runs in the centre of the field. Additionally, there will be a dew factor, which implies that the team that wins the toss may decide to bowl because the wicket will probably improve as the game goes on. 

Let’s take a look at the top captain and vice-captain picks for your fantasy teams: 

RCB vs PBKS: Top Three Players You Can Pick As Captain: 

Virat Kohli 

India‘s star batter did not have a great time in the middle against CSK, returning to action after a few months. But Given the home conditions, Virat can fire with the bat. Virat loves to score at this stadium making him a perfect choice for captain. 

Note – Virat Kohli has scored 2700 runs in 82 games with 4 hundreds here 

Sam Curran

Sam Curran was the Man of the Match in the first game against Delhi scoring 63 and thus Punjab emerged as the winners. The English all-rounder would like to continue his form offering his all-around abilities making him a good pick for captain. 

Glenn Maxwell 

Glenn Maxwell couldn’t make an impact on a slowish surface in the first game against CSK but for this match, he is back to his territory, a surface that brings out the best in him. Other than his Batting Carnage he gives the luxury of some overs making a thoughtful choice for captain. 

RCK vs PBKS: Top Three Players You Can Pick As Vice-Captain

Faf Du Plessis 

Faf Du Plessis showed great power-hitting skills amidst tough conditions in Chennai scoring a quick 35 at 150 sr before Fizz got him out. He would like to learn from the first game and try scoring big on a surface he too loves to bat. 

Liam Livingstone 

Liam Livingstone had a decent game at Mullanpur scoring  38 at a strike rate of 180 finishing the game for Punjab. This stadium suits Liam‘s batting and it can bring the beast in him back. He is a risky but rewarding choice. 

Jonny Bairstow 

Jonny Bairstow was dismissed by run out in the first game scoring a mere 9 runs but with this match opening the innings with Shikhar he would like to turn the time back and remember him scoring a century against RCB. This surface will suit his batting and he is a good vice-captain choice.
