RCB opener Phil Salt began IPL 2025 with a brilliant half-century against his former team Kolkata Knight Riders. However, he has not been able to make a significant impact in the games thereafter.

In the previous game against Delhi Capitals, Salt appeared to be back in touch before being needlessly run out. The right-hander smashed 37 runs off just 17 balls including four boundaries and three sixes at a strike-rate of 217.65.

Salt is one of those batters that cannot be kept quiet for long. His knock in the previous game indicates that a big innings could be around the corner. RCB would want him to fire at the top and play a long innings against RR.

RCB captain Rajat Patidar has looked impressive with the bat this season. Not only has he taken on the spinners but has attacked the fast bowlers as well. Patidar has scored 186 runs from five games at an average of 37.20 and a strike-rate of 161.73, including two half-centuries.

However, in the previous game against Delhi Patidar failed to get going, managing just 25 runs from 23 balls with a four and a six at a strike-rate of 108.7.

The skipper is a key player in the middle-order, often taking control and providing the much-needed firepower. As they look to return to winning ways against RR, RCB will need their captain to step up and lead from the front.
