Du Plessis will be expected to play as an ‘Impact Player’ once again – only batting for the side – as he is the current Orange Cap holder with over 400 runs already in 7 matches including five fifties. RCB were also fretting over the fitness of Josh Hazlewood, who should have been available to play in this game but the Australian still remains uncertain. In Hazlewood’s absence, David Willey is expected to continue in the playing XI.


For Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan-owned KKR side, Jason Roy is expected to return to the top of the order after batting in the middle-order in the last game against Chennai Super Kings. Roy had injured himself in the field and as a result Sunil Narine opened the batting. All-rounder Shardul Thakur was seen bowling in the nets but it remains to be seen if he will be available for the clash against RCB on Wednesday night.
