In their last encounter, they suffered a 5-wicket heartbreaking loss to the Punjab Kings.

Pitch Report This Mullanpur's surface offers a fairly balanced game between bat and ball, and it has been doing exactly the same this season of IPL. The average first innings total in IPL 2024 was 167, which depicts that the surface will be challenging and not easy to bat on. Leg-break bowlers and medium pacers are likely to get some good help from this surface. As this is an afternoon game, the pitch is likely to play slowly.

(Impact Subs: Suyash Sharma, Swastik Chikara, Swapnil Singh, Rasikh Salam, Romario Shepherd) Must-Pick Players for RCB vs PBKS Top Wicketkeeper to Pick Prabhsimran Singh | PBKS: Prabhsimran Singh has played 7 matches this season so far and has scored 176 runs; he has been performing brilliantly so far. He scored 13 runs in the last match against RCB but will look to add more runs against the same team in this clash. He can play a crucial role in your team if added. Phil Salt | RCB: Philip Salt is back to his aggressive form, and he is back with a bang, scoring a roaring half-century in the last-to-last match against RR. In 7 matches, he has scored 212 runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 182.76. He will look to add some crucial runs in this match against PBKS as well. Top Batters to Pick Shreyas Iyer | PBKS: Shreyas Iyer has been in top form this season of IPL 2025 and would be a good pick for your fantasy XI. He should be there in your team. In 7 matches of IPL 2025, he has added 257 runs at an average of 51,4, including a power-packed half-century against SRH in the recent match. He will look to continue his good form going into this match. Virat Kohli | RCB: Virat Kohli is slowly racing towards the orange cap, but he will need to be consistent in his batting going forward. He has been consistently amassing big runs for his team this season, but his performance against PBKS in the last match raised some eyebrows. In 7 matches, Kohli has scored 249 runs at an average of 49.8 runs per match, which also includes three half-centuries. He should be included in your fantasy XI, keeping his good form in mind. Top All-Rounders to Pick Marco Jansen | PBKS: One of the few all-rounders in world cricket who is capable of winning matches single-handedly. This is exactly what he is doing in this tournament. He has scored 43 runs so far and has taken 8 wickets, including two wickets against RCB in the last match. He should be included in your fantasy XI. Krunal Pandya | RCB: Krunal Pandya is undoubtedly the ace of this team this season. He might be performing with the bat as per the expectations, but his wicket-taking abilities are something no one should underestimate. He has scored 23 runs so far in three matches but has taken 8 wickets in 7 matches, with his best being 4 for 45 against MI. Top Bowlers to Pick Yuzvendra Chahal | PBKS: Yuzvendra Chahal regained his form against KKR in the last-to-last match, where he grabbed four wickets. He has taken 8 wickets in the tournament, but his cunning leg spin deliveries can be proven to be lethal against RCB batters. Josh Hazlewood | RCB: Josh Hazlewood has been a regular wicket-taker for the RCB this season and has been breathing fire in the power play. In 7 matches this season, he has taken 13 wickets at a bowling strike of 12. He took three wickets against PBKS in the last match. He would be aiming to add a few more in this match and improve his numbers going forward.
