The eliminator between the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will be super exciting in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Both teams will be prepared to face each other and play some quality cricket to proceed further to reach the top two positions in the points table. From here on, the team which wins will play Qualifier 2 against the loser of Qualifier 1.

All fans will be excited to watch this match as RCB is in red-hot form and will be looking forward to smashing the RR team. Moreover, while RCB hasn't lost a single game in the month of May, RR hasn't won one. So the contest will be filled with thrill and excitement. 

Let's check out the key battles for the RR vs RCB match:

1. Sanju Samson vs Mohammed Siraj:

Skipper Sanju Samson is one of the most reliable and the most experienced players in the RR team. He has played a lot of responsible innings against all the teams and will be looking to do the same against RCB as well. On the other hand, Siraj is the prime bowler of RCB who has given important breakthroughs to the team and has played amazingly. When these two will face each other, it will be fun to watch considering the amount of experience they have against each other. Moreover, Siraj has dismissed the batter thrice while Samson has scored 36 runs in 31 balls.

2. Virat Kohli vs Sandeep Sharma:

Virat Kohli might be the best batter in the entire world but his record against Sandeep Sharma is not up to the mark. Sharma has dismissed the batter seven times in 15 innings while Kohli has scored 87 runs off 67 balls. In this match, while Kohli will look to play well and win, Sharma will look to dismiss the batter. The fans might enjoy this banter because Kohli will be in an aggressive form and will look to smash all the bowlers equally.

3. Faf Du Plessis vs Trent Boult:

The RR bowler Trent Boult has been smashed by the RCB batter throughout his IPL career. Impressively, Faf has played 91 balls and scored 108 runs while Boult has just dismissed him only thrice. This shows the confidence the batter carries against a world-class bowler like Boult. Both of them have done an amazing job in the tournament and will definitely make the most out of this opportunity one more time.
