RCB's bowling duo Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood have been effective, and key players like Virat Kohli and Jacob Bethell are expected to contribute. GT rely heavily on top-order batsmen Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, and Sai Sudharsan but have struggled at home. Both teams aim to build momentum as the tournament progresses.
