Dubai, September 29: The Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals will go against each other on Wednesday (September 29) and the IPL 2021 match is a chance for the Virat Kohli-led side to win and get closer to the play-off berth.
The RCB now have 12 points from 10 matches, and a win will take to 14 and that much nearer to the knockouts.
