IPL 2017 | RPS vs RCB Highlights: Rising Pune Supergiant beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 61 runs

A sloppy batting display cost Royal Challengers Bangalore another Indian Premier League match at the MCA ground on Saturday. Home team set a sub-par target of 158 for the RCB who suffered another batting collapse. Earlier, the RCB bowlers put a disciplined show as they managed to restrict RPS under 160. The visitors are looking to end their dismal show in the Indian Premier League 2017 in an away game today.

Virat Kohli has not included star batsman Chris Gayle in the squad. The match is being billed as a must-win game for the visitors as they have already lost six of their nine matches and are second-last on the points table with just five points. 

RPS too, on the other hand, have been pretty inconsistent in the season with just eight points in as many games with just four wins in their kitty. 

Squads

Royal Challengers Bangalore: Virat Kohli(c), Travis Head, AB de Villiers, Kedar Jadhav(w), Sachin Baby, Stuart Binny, Pawan Negi, Samuel Badree, Adam Milne, Sreenath Aravind, Yuzvendra Chahal

Rising Pune Supergiant: Ajinkya Rahane, Rahul Tripathi, Steven Smith(c), MS Dhoni(w), Manoj Tiwary, Daniel Christian, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Jaydev Unadkat, Lockie Ferguson, Imran Tahir
