RR injury update Devdutt Padikkal has missed back-to-back games while Trent Boult returned after missing one game due to sickness.

RR key players RR top order is in solid form with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson scoring runs at the top. In Padikkal's absence, Joe Root was added to the middle-order but the Englishman didn't get to bat yet. Dhruv Jurel has become an important finisher for the team with Shimron Hetmyer's form dipping.

Among bowlers, Yuzvendra Chahal is in top form with 8 wickets in two games. R Ashwin went wicketless in the last game but has been in good form with 14 wickets this season. Trent Boult return to good form with two wickets in three overs as he troubled KKR batters with the new ball.

Among bowlers, Mohammad Siraj has been leading the charge with 15 wickets but proved indecisive in back-to-back games. Josh Hazelwood is yet to come up with a good performance too as RCB bowling has let them down. Wanindu Hasaranga and Vyshak Vijay Kumar picked a couple of wickets in the last game but proved costly.
