IPL 2022, Qualifier 2, RR vs RCB: Will Royal Challengers Bangalore go one step close to end trophy quest?

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Qualifier 2 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Spirited RCB will go into the game after a smashing win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the eliminator. While on the other hand, RR lost their previous match to Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Qualifier 1.

Rajat Patidar scored a ton for RCB in the Eliminator and he has been the key batter for the Bangalore-based franchise in the entire tournament. While for Rajasthan Jos Buttler will look to continue his form and help RR to reach the finals.

The focus will also be on Virat Kohli who didn't perform in the Eliminator as the star batter got out early. Kohli has been struggling with the form this season. However, he got two half-centuries but that was definitely not enough to stop the critics against him.
