RCB’s away record in this era is extraordinary and they carry far more middle-order depth into this contest. That is enough to back them at this price.

RCB lead the all-time series 17-14 across 34 meetings, and since the start of IPL 2025 they have won five of their last seven against RR including both games last season. Their road form is the standout stat, with nine wins from ten away games since the start of 2025, with the one loss a game relocated from Bengaluru. Kohli.

Padikkal and Patidar make up arguably the best top four in the competition, while Tim David and Romario Shepherd give them firepower through the death that RR have not yet been tested to match.

RR’s opening pair have been exceptional. Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi have put on stands of 74, 69 and 59 in the powerplay without either being dismissed this season, but the middle order is an unknown quantity. Sandeep Sharma has dismissed Kohli seven times and will test him early. Without Hazlewood, though, RCB’s bowling has enough variety in Duffy and Bhuvneshwar to keep RR honest.

Back the defending champions on the road.

Padikkal has been in stunning form, scoring back-to-back fifties to open the season at a strike rate of 201. His game against pace has been transformed, with his strike rate against back-of-a-length deliveries has jumped from 119 to 191 this IPL. Coming in at No. 3 against an RR attack without a genuine speedster, he looks the standout pick.

Jaiswal has also started strong this season and averages 42 against RCB in the IPL with both his centuries coming against them. The Guwahati surface has played well and against an RCB attack still missing Hazlewood, there is every chance he gets a long look at Jacob Duffy and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Hard to see him not going deep.
