RCB vs RR: Royal Challengers Bangalore returned back to winning ways as they defeated Punjab Kings by 24 runs in their last match of the IPL 2023. Besides the team's average performance so far in the tournament, Virat Kohli, skipper Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell have been the consistent run scorers of the team. However, the fans might witness the three players batting left-handed in the RR vs RCB match as the Bangalore-based franchise has shared a video on their Twitter handle for the same.
In the video shared by the Royal Challengers Bangalore on their official Twitter handle, fans can see Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and Dinesh Karthik bat with their left hand in the team nets.

Coming back to Royal Challengers Bangalore's next challenge in the IPL 2023, they will face Rajasthan Royals at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB is coming off a 24-run win against the Punjab Kings and will be high on confidence. Rajasthan Royals on the other hand look a bit settled but they would also like to return to the winning ways after the narrow defeat against Lucknow Super Giants.
