Even when three teams have comfortably booked their places in the playoffs there\u2019s still a tight tussle for the qualifier positions. After Chennai Super King\u2019s loss against Delhi Capitals, a rare opportunity has opened up for Royal Challengers Bangalore to make it to the top two.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">2\ufe0f\u20e3 games remaining. <br \/>4\ufe0f\u20e3 points on offer. <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take it \u261d\ud83c\udffb game at a time and move forward together. \ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffb<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PlayBold?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PlayBold<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WeAreChallengers?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WeAreChallengers<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IPL2021?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IPL2021<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/StrongerTogether?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#StrongerTogether<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lhKiMHlamv\">pic.twitter.com\/lhKiMHlamv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Royal Challengers Bengaluru (@RCBTweets) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RCBTweets\/status\/1445380873923149825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 5, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>RCB has performed as a top-notch team in year\u2019s IPL and this is evident by the fact, they have qualified with 2 games at hand. Now the key aim of their campaign is to book a slot in the qualifier position, and the first chance to do that befalls them on Wednesday, as they take on Sunrisers Hyderabad. A win in this match will send cruising past Chennai Super Kings. Although that is not the only thing that Virat Kohli will have on his mind.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Captain Kohli vs Captain Kane. \ud83d\udd25\ud83e\uddca <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re in for one entertaining Wednesday evening. \ud83e\udd29<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PlayBold?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PlayBold<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WeAreChallengers?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WeAreChallengers<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IPL2021?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IPL2021<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RCBvSRH?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RCBvSRH<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/93pJ5Izdsw\">pic.twitter.com\/93pJ5Izdsw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Royal Challengers Bengaluru (@RCBTweets) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RCBTweets\/status\/1445577048429404160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 6, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Despite all of his key players playing to their potential, recently Kohli has had his handful with the Australian Dan Christian. The 38-year-old has looked out of sorts recently. Once considered as a T20 specialist, with both bat and bowl, now seems to have lost his edge a little. As a result of which, Kohli will have to make a key decision keeping in mind that there won\u2019t be any second chances in the Playoffs. Unless obviously, they make it to qualifier 1, which won\u2019t be easy either. Therefore, right before the playoffs, Kohli will be required to try out someone new in the place of Christian and the young Singaporean player Tim David might be in contention.<\/p>\n<p>David has just played one match in this year\u2019s IPL and was able to showcase his potential. Therefore he can be a key addition to the team. Here\u2019s a look at RCB\u2019s Predicted lineup for today\u2019s match: <strong>Kohli(C), Padikkal, Bharat, Maxwell, de Villiers, David, Ahmed, Garton, Patel, Siraj, and Chahal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While on the other hand, Sunrisers will be looking to show some faith in their youngster, hence the line-up might look something like this: <strong>Jason<\/strong> <strong>Roy, Wriddhiman Saha, Kane Williamson (C), Priyam Garg, Abhishek Sharma, Abdul Samad, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kaul, and Umran Malik<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David has just played one match in this year\u2019s IPL and was able to showcase his potential.
