Royal Challengers Bangalore, after winning the toss, chose to take the offensive by bowling first.

“We’ve decided to chase today. The last game we played here, the pitch was slower in the first innings, with some areas patchy and dry. It’s crucial for us to keep learning from our past games. We’ve had productive discussions and are looking to correct our mistakes. There’s a bit of moisture on the pitch, so let’s see how it unfolds. Topley will be joining us in place of Alzarri.”

Faf du Plessis, RCB Skipper

“It feels a bit unusual today, used to walking into the home dressing room here, and now I’m heading to the visitors’. Our team has shown great character in both matches so far. It’s heartening to see everyone contributing, which boosts our confidence. We’re getting better with every season, and our team combination is strengthening. Our goal now is to score substantial runs and apply pressure on the opposition. Beyond our victories, there’s been a lot of talk about Mayank’s pace. He’s been a part of our team since the beginning and it was unfortunate he missed last season due to injury. We’re making just one change today – Moshin Khan is out with a sore back, and Yash Thakur steps in.”
