RCB eye a smart outing from bowlers against GT to maintain winning run

BENGALURU: Royal Challengers Bengaluru's desire to make their home-coming a memorable occasion pivots around an experienced bowling unit maintaining its excellent form when they face Gujarat Titans in an IPL match here on Wednesday. The bowlers played a big hand in RCB taming two traditionally tough opponents in Kolkata and Chennai but now they face a different challenge at home against the Titans. The short boundaries and a quick outfield add to the misery of the bowlers, but the Royal Challengers will believe that they have two bowlers who can contain batters here Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Captain Shubman Gill and B.Sai Sudharsan have already developed into a good opening pair, and RCB will be eager to prevent their alliance from blossoming through Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar.
