Shikhar Dhawan’s side have had an upper hand over RCB recently, having won five out of their last six matches, including two in two in IPL 2022. They will look to keep their winning run going in the first encounter in 2023 as well. There is, however, injury concerns around captain Dhawan, who underwent a fitness Test on Wednesday on the eve of the match. All-rounder Liam Livingstone is also coming back from injury and yet to play any game in IPL 2023.


If Dhawan is unfit then Sam Curran will take over the captaincy reigns once again like the last match. For RCB, opener Virat Kohli is in top form with the bat, although he failed against Chennai Super Kings in the last match. RCB captain Faf du Plessis currently holds the Orange Cap while all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has good knowledge of Mohali and Punjab Kings as well since he has played for them in the past.
