Indian skipper Virat Kohli and vice-captain Rohit Sharma will come face-to-face when Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will square off with Mumbai Indians in Match 10 of the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Dubai International Stadium on Monday.

The Rohit Sharma-led side failed to make a good start to their campaign at the 2020 IPL as they were upstaged by three-time winners and Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led team Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by five wickets in their opening clash.

However, the defending champions then rebounded strongly to seal a 49-run triumph in their second match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Mumbai Indians will now look to continue their momentum and make two victories on the trot with a win over the RCB.

Virat Kohli's franchise, on the other hand, kicked off their campaign at the cash-rich league with a 10-run defeat at the hands of SunRisers Hyderabad in their opener.

However, the RCB failed to capitalise on the same and suffered a crushing 97-run defeat against KL Rahul-led Kings XI Punjab in their second match. 

Going into the upcoming clash, the Bangalore-based franchise will look to shrug off the defeat and come up with a much-improved performance.

As far as head-to-head record is concerned, four-time champions Mumbai Indians hold a big edge over the RCB.

The two sides have faced each other in a total of 27 encounters so far, with Mumbai Indians winning 18 of them and RCB emerging victorious on nine occasions.
