AEW Dynamite: New Title Matches announced on April 24 episode
Mumbai, March 27: The 2022 IPL season's first double-header is underway, and after Delhi Capitals beat Mumbai Indians in a cracking contest, the stage is set for the second game of the day.
Eyeing their elusive IPL title, the Royal Challengers Bangalore face off against the Punjab Kings at the DY Patil Stadium. Both sides have new skippers at the helm, with Faf du Plessis donning the skipper's hat for RCB, while Mayank Agarwal is leading the Punjab side.
After winning the toss in Mumbai on Sunday, new PBKS skipper Agarwal elected to bowl first against the RCB. Mayank named Liam Livingstone, Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Odean Smith as the three overseas players for the match. Meanwhile, the RCB line-up will have four overseas players for their opener, with skipper du Plessis along with Sherfane Rutherford, David Willey and Wanindu Hasaranga making it to the playing XI.
RCB is being led by du Plessis, who is donning the Bangalore jersey for the first time. After former skipper Virat Kohli stepped down from captaincy post the 2021 season, new recruit du Plessis was handed the charge.
Meanwhile, Mayank was one of the players retained by the Punjab Kings ahead of the auction. Mayank will take over the reigns from KL Rahul, who is now leading the Lucknow Super Giants.
Both sides will look to begin the new era on a winning note as they look to pick up their maiden IPL title. Though Bangalore will begin the season with a new skipper at the helm, all eyes will still be on Kohli as he looks to get back to his killer form, which has been missing for a while.
In the first match of the day, the Capitals clinched a four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians.
