<p>After losing to Royal Challengers Bangalore by seven wickets on Wednesday (September 29), Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson believes "funny things can happen" in the Indian Premier League and urged his team to "keep believing" till the last match we play.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We don't have anything to lose. That kind of mindset brings a lot of freedom, have seen some funny things happen. Need to keep on believing and fighting till the last match," said Samson during the post-match presentation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rajasthan Royals were 100 for 1 at one stage before RCB bowlers made a stunning comeback. Samson admitted the mistakes also after his side failed to capitalise on a fine start, only to see the team being restricted to 149 for nine in the end.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The wicket was a bit two-paced, so the batters couldn't time the ball properly, they kept mistiming it. Happy with the effort and intent with the bowling," he added.&nbsp;</p>

'Funny things can happen in IPL, we need to keep believing': Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson

<p>Match 43 of the IPL 2021 edition will see an inconsistent Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) face third-ranked Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Wednesday evening (September 29). The match will be held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Talking about the form of both sides, RCB started their UAE leg with back-to-back defeats before mauling defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) by 54 runs to add two vital points in their kitty. On the other hand, Samson-led RR have yet again not lived upto expectations. With so much young talent and experienced foreign recruits, RR started the UAE leg with an inspiring come-from-behind win over Punjab Kings (PBKS) before failing to cross the finish line versus Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC).</p>

IPL 2021: All-round Royal Challengers Bangalore thrash Rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets

<p dir="ltr"><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p>While Royal Challengers Bangalore have had a dynamite start to their mission by winning each of the three matches in Chennai with the team currently set to play at the batting-friendly Wankhede pitch in Mumbai, Virat Kohli, and co. ought to lick their lips at the possibility of stretching out their best at any point to start an IPL season. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals have won just one of their three games.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Four out of the seven games played here this season so far have been won by the teams batting second. It's regular on the ground where dew becomes an integral factor and chasing is most preferred. It will be a high-scorer like most games at the Wankhede.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Head to Head</strong>:</h2>

<p>In the last five outings between these two sides, the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals are equally poised, winning two times each and one match finishing in a no outcome. RCB dominated both the matches against RR last season.</p>

<h2><strong>Royal Challengers Bangalore&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Virat Kohli has good beginnings in several games yet the RCB captain will tingle to play big innings considering the batting-friendly Wankhede pitch. The emerging player of the last season - Devdutt Padikkal, who intrigued everybody last season, has additionally looked corroded and is yet to perform to his maximum capacity. After two disappointments Rajat Patidar will, as well, hope to play reform.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the interim, RCB's over-reliance on Kohli and ABD appears to have diminished this season, as Glenn Maxwell has their most elevated run-scorer up until now. Glenn Maxwell has effectively amassed 176 runs IPL 2021, remembering putting for a Man of the Match execution against Sunrisers Hyderabad.</p>

<p>Their bowling assault looks exceptionally powerful as well, with Daniel Sams liable to reinforce the group significantly more. Harshal Patel has excelled in the death overs and has played an instrumental part.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Probable XI</strong> - &nbsp;Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar/Finn Allen, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers, Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed/Dan Cristian, Kyle Jamieson, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal</p>

<h2><strong>Rajasthan Royals</strong></h2>

<p>Rajasthan Royals have attempted to proceed as a durable batting unit. While Samson drove the team to within a touching distance of triumph with his electrifying century against Punjab Kings, it was the South African duo of David Miller and Chris Morris that pulled off success against the Delhi Capitals.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Liam Livingstone, the England all-rounder, has flown back home referring to bubble exhaustion. With Ben Stokes out due to injury and Jofra Archer still inaccessible, Rajasthan Royals are left with only five overseas players to pick from.</p>

<p>Their bowling intrigued in sprays, with youthful pacer Chetan Sakariya proceeding with his promising beginning to his IPL profession. Notwithstanding, Rajasthan Royals should deal with their passing bowling, particularly against a perilous RCB batting setup.</p>

<p><strong>Probable XI</strong> - Jos Buttler, Manan Vohra, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, David Miller, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Jaydev Unadkat/Shreyas Gopal, Chetan Sakariya, Mustafizur Rahman</p>

<p>Royal Challengers Bangalore&nbsp;resembles to be the most threatening outfit in IPL 2021 and Wankhede is a customized scene for them. Expect Virat Kohli's side to proceed with their winning run.</p>

IPL 2020: Kohli and Chahal star as Royal Challengers beat Rajasthan Royals by 8 wickets

<p>With the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a> continuing in the UAE, Rajasthan Royals took on Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. While RR opted to bat first given the hot and humid conditions in the afternoon match, the Steve Smith-led outfit weren’t off to the best of start as they lost the skipper and star batsman Sanju Samson early.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Yuzvendra Chahal pulled off a stunner to dismiss Samson as the Indian spinner took a terrific caught and bowled to send the in-form RR batsman packing back to the hut. While there have been arguments on Chahal’s catch on social media platform Twitter, the third umpire felt there was no conclusive evidence to change the decision of the on-field umpire.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While Samson played it straight back to Chahal, the ball appeared to have touched the ground. However, it seemed like there was a finger underneath the ball and with not many camera angles available, third umpire went with the on-field call and dismissed Samson.&nbsp;</p>

IPL 2020: Out or not-out? Fans question Samson's dismissal and Chahal's catch in RR vs RCB match

<p>Rajasthan and Bangalore will lock horns on Tuesday. Both the teams are yet to win a single match in the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As the Royals will host Bangalore, both the teams will be desperate to register their first win of the season and get off the mark.</p>

<p>Both the teams have played three matches so far and have lost all the games. Rajasthan, who have come close to victory on all three occasions, have failed to tighten the screws when it mattered most. In all three matches, they were in a good position but could not grab the moments, losing to Punjab, Hyderabad and Chennai respectively.</p>

<p>Rajasthan boast&nbsp;of star players such as Steve Smith, Joss Buttler and Ben Stokes but still have failed to live up to the expectations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The likes of Sanju Samson, who had hit a first ton of this IPL and Rahane have been good.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rahul Tripathi also looked impressive during his 39 against Chennai but Smith and Stokes are yet to set the tournament on fire.</p>

<p>Bangalore, on the other hand, have had a disastrous start to the season. Against Chennai, they faltered with the bat while against Hyderabad the bowlers looked hapless.&nbsp;</p>

<p>What also stands out is the manner in which the Bangalore have been beaten- 7 wickets against Chennai and 118 runs against Hydebarad. &nbsp;Virat Kohli had conceded that the defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday afternoon was one of their worst losses.</p>

<p>Another area of concern for Bangalore is Virat Kohli’s record against Rajasthan. Kohli’s batting average against the Royals is 21.27, his lowest against all IPL teams.</p>
