RR vs RCB Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Phil Salt

Phil Salt has looked in great touch, but a big knock has eluded him since his half-century in the season opener against Kolkata Knight Riders. In the last game, he was unfortunately run out for a 17-ball 37. RCB fans would hope that Salt bats deep into the innings as he could inflict a lot of damage the longer he stays at the crease.

Probable Best Bowler: Jofra Archer

Jofra Archer did not have a great start to the season, as he was very expensive in the first two games. However, some hard work behind the scenes has helped him rediscover his form. In the last three games, he has bowled 11 overs and conceded just 66 runs, picking up five wickets. Archer's new-ball spell will be crucial for the Royals.
