It will be interesting to see if RCB can get back on track or RR continue their dominance this season.
Bangalore’s pace attack will have an uphill task against Jos Buttler’s juggernaut, while Virat Kohli will look to add some runs on board to end the longstanding debate over his poor form in the tournament.
While chasing 169, Bangalore lost early wickets in the game, and they were at the loss of five wickets when Karthik arrived on the crease.
Chahal was one of RCB’s main weapons with the ball during his stint with them.
Karthik played a gem of an innings. He scored an unbeaten 44 off just 23 balls to take RCB home.
The same celebration was started by Sri Lanka and RCB leg-spinner, Wanindu Hasaranga after taking wickets.
In one instance, an umpire judged Jos Buttler out for an LBW appeal in the 15th over of the RR innings, but on a DRS referral had to overturn the decision.
Jaiswal could not cover the movement off the pitch and missed putting the bat to the ball which led to his downfall on Tuesday.

Sanju Samson and Co. will have their eyes set on third consecutive win when they face Bangalore on Tuesday.
Both Rajasthan and Bangalore have emerged as two of the most well-balanced teams in the tournament.
Faf Du Plessis-led Bangalore started off their IPL campaign after losing their opening game against Punjab Kings but held their nerves in their next game to register a three-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders.
There was no attempt of a run being taken by Yashasvi Jaiswal.
The two sides will be against each other tonight at the Dubai International Stadium.
Virat Kohli’s RCB comfortably sits at third place while Sanju Samson’s RR sits at the seventh place in the points table.
Kohli revealed in the post-match presentation that Padikkal was more interested in keeping RCB’s unbeaten run intact, rather than sealing his century.
The video has now gone viral on social media as fans across various platforms are sharing the video and picture of Kohli’s gestures.
While the netizens hailed RCB for extending their unbeaten run to go top of the table, they made some hilarious memes on Sanju Samson’s side who lost their third match of IPL 2021.
While the contest was a one-sided affair, the fans were extremely happy to see such a beautiful moment on the field of cricket.
Glenn Maxwell needs 1 more six to hit 100 sixes in IPL while AB de Villiers needs 26 more runs to complete 5000 runs in IPL.
