RCB vs RR IPL 2021 Match 16: Possible Playing 11 of Royal Challengers Bangalore

RCB Playing 11: In Thursday’s royal battle, it will be Royal Challengers Bangalore to take on Rajasthan Royals here at Mumbai. Both teams have played 23 matches over the years in both have won 10 games each. With such a tight record, a thriller is on the cards in the batting friendly pitch at Mumbai. Last season though, Royal Challengers came out on top on both the occasions and they would be looking to carry the momentum forward. A run fest is on the cards given the powerful batting line-ups of both the teams fighting it out at Wankhede.

Daniel Sams is available after recovering from Covid-19. With Mumbai expected to assist pacers more than Chennai, expect Sams to slot into the eleven in place of Shahbaz Ahmed. Here is how their eleven could be shaped up for this match:

RCB Playing 11 (likely)

V Kohli (C)
D Padikkal
R Patidar
G Maxwell
A de Villiers (wk)
W Sundar
D Sams
K Jamieson
H Patel
M Siraj
Y Chahal

Adaptability will be the key for RCB as they move on to batter-friendly Mumbai. Kyle Jamieson will enjoy bowling here given his ability to extract bounce. Harshal Patel looked superb in Chennai with his cutters but Wankhede will test his skills. On the batting front, RCB has Maxwell and de Villiers in great form but Kohli’s lack of runs at the top will be a concern.
