Bengaluru, April 25: Under-pressure Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) today (April 25) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 contest here.
On Sunday (April 23), RCB produced a shocking batting performance against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as they were bowled out for just 49 in 9.4 overs, the lowest in IPL 's history.
With their play-off chances taking a big blow as they languish at the bottom of the 8-team standings with just 4 points, RCB need to win tonight at their home ground - M Chinnaswamy Stadium. (Kohli blames 'one guy' for golden duck)
Will captain Virat Kohli make any changes to the Playing XI or retain the same? The best available players were on the ground at Eden Gardens on Sunday but could not deliver. Despite that batting debacle, RCB might make just one change.
The home side are likely to bring in left-hand batsman Sachin Baby in place of Mandeep Singh. (RCB-SRH match preview)
