Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, and Devdutt Padikkal, the key architects of the chase against RR, which earned RCB a nine-wicket win, are expected to stay right in their places. Rajat Patidar should be coming in at four, while Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma, and Tim David are expected to be the fierce middle-order batters for this side in the RCB vs PBKS IPL 2025 match. Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, and Yash Dayal have been really good at picking wickets and are in fact the main four wicket-takers for RCB in IPL 2025. So, the bowling line-up should also stay in its place. Suyash Sharma can be a spinner of choice, used as an impact player if batting first.

Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings batters were horrible against KKR in the last game, but that was just an off-day. Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer, and Josh Inglis form the core of this top-order, and altering them after just a poor game wouldn't be ideal. Marcus Stoinis can be tried ahead of Glenn Maxwell, as his strike rate is better. Also, Maxwell's spin might not be of much use at Bengaluru. Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh are the core big hitters, and they have their slots booked. Marco Jansen picked three wickets and has his berth booked too. Arshdeep Singh being the ace pacer and highest wicket-taker for PBKS in IPL 2025 will stay too. Xavier Bartlett might get another chance, as an impact player. Yuzvendra Chahal, the game changer with four wickets in the last match will be the ace-spinner against his ex-side RCB. Yash Thakur might be tried again.
