RR vs RCB Probable Best Performers
Probable best batter
The Gujarat opener is relishing an excellent season with the bat and is in contention for the IPL 2023 Orange Cap. The swashbuckling right-hander has 475 runs in 12 appearances at a solid average of 43.18. Gill will look to come all guns blazing against Hyderabad and aim to carve out a big knock.
Probable best bowler
Arguably one of the most lethal bowlers in the league is Titans’ Rashid Khan. The Afghan sensation holds the potential to spin a web around the rival team and outfox them with his impressive spells. He will look to play a vital role in denting SRH’s batting line-up in the forthcoming clash.
