“DICE promotes Virat Kohli”: the daring prediction of the ex-cricket before RCB vs srh clash | Cricket news

New Delhi: Already assured of a place of qualifying series, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru are looking to obtain a top two on stage for the first time since 2016, when they will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in their 2025 IPL confrontation on Friday.The last time RCB finished in the top two was during the 2016 season, which considered them as finalists.Currently second on the point table with 17 points from 12 games, RCB can potentially seal a top two berth with victories in their two remaining devices.The Friday meeting, which was initially planned as a home match for RCB, had to be shifted due to the arrival of the monsoon season.The former India cricket player, Aakash Chopra, weighed on the conditions expected in the new place – the Ekana Cricket stadium in Lucknow – and predicted a competition with a low score.“Don’t expect a high score match – Ekana will not allow it. It’s a big field, not Chinnaswamy. But it will always be a good competition. Do not count SRH.He also shared his reflections on the race for the playoffs. “A change arrives. RCB vs pbks – I think one of them drops a game. Mi vs pbks is also crucial. Do notore the SRH – they beat the LSG and have changes of play. A big round, like Marsh’s today, can shake things. I will not be surprised if the first four are completely different,” he said.The form of RCB was reinforced by the exceptional series of Virat Kohli, which struck seven half-century in 11 rounds, offering coherent departures at the top.

The team made a sequence of four consecutive victories before the League was disrupted due to the Indian-Pakistani military conflict. However, their return match after a 20 -day interruption was washed, stopping their momentum. It remains to be seen if they can resume the pace and the intensity that have marked their pre-through performance.Chasing a long -awaited IPL title, RCB benefits from one of their most coherent seasons in recent years.
