RCB take on Rajasthan, a team which has all bases covered but still came up short against Gujarat in Qualifier 1.
Rajasthan Royals will need to shake off an ordinary bowling performance in their last outing when they clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore, a team which seems to be peaking at the right time, in the high-stakes IPL Qualifier-2 on Friday. Having sneaked into the play-offs, RCB seem are on a roll and a tight win over Lucknow in the Eliminator has fuelled expectations for a long-awaited trophy. They take on Rajasthan, a team which has all bases covered but still came up short against Gujarat in Qualifier 1.
The IPL caravan moves to Ahmedabad after a couple of high-scoring games in Kolkata.
It has been a quick turnaround for RCB but they won't mind that as they look to ride the momentum.
"The best thing is that we have one day and we play again. Cannot wait to be in Ahmedabad and take the field again. We are so excited and happy with how things have gone. Hopefully, two more games and we all can celebrate," star RCB batter Virat Kohli told the IPL website after the win over LSG. Rajat Patidar, who played the innings of his life on Wednesday, will be a man with supreme confidence in another high-pressure knockout fixture.
For someone who went unsold in the IPL auction and came into the RCB squad as a replacement player, it has been a career-changing season for him.
