IPL 2021, SRH vs RCB Preview: Royal Challengers Bangalore Look To Build Momentum vs SunRisers Hyderabad In Upcoming Fixture

IPL 2021: After winning the season opener, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be aiming to build a winning run, when they face SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 14.

Seeking to consolidate their position after a winning start, Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore will have their task cut out as they take on a determined SunRisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League, on Wednesday. While RCB began their campaign with a morale-boosting win over five-time defending champions Mumbai Indians at the same venue, the David Warner-led SRH lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in their tournament opener. Having put up a decent performance in the first game, RCB will be strengthened further when the immensely-talented Devdutt Padikkal makes the team after his recovery from COVID-19. Padikkal has said he is now completely ready to play his part in the IPL and confident of replicating his stupendous domestic form in the ongoing league. He contracted the deadly virus on March 22 and was in isolation, but has since completely recovered and resumed practice with his RCB teammates. In the event Padikkal is unable to return for Wednesday's game, RCB will stick to the opening pair of Kohli and Washington Sundar.
