RCB have 4 points now from three matches and a win will elevate them among to the top tier teams in the IPL 2022, and all indicate to another Royal Challengers romp on Saturday (April 9).
They will be boosted by the availability of all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who has joined the team bubble after his wedding last month and has completed his three-day mandatory quarantine and Aus team matches are finished too.
