Having won their first three games, the new franchise got hammered by Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game. Suresh Raina finally found a big score which was long overdue and that should please the management. They would expect something similar from Brendon McCullum today and considering Bangalore possess one of the weakest bowling attacks in the tournament, today's game presents a glorious opportunity.
Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers have been flying high right from the start and the Lions will have to come up with something to get rid of them cheaply. Will the RCB skipper dedicate a special knock today to his idol Sachin Tendulkar, who is celebrating his 43rd birthday?
