RCB need Mumbai Indians to beat Delhi Capitals today to qualify for the playoffsMUMBAI: Keep an eye on the stands at Wankhede. A Virat Kohli or a Faf du Plessis or even the entire Royal Challengers Bangalore squad might be found sitting there on Saturday evening, cheering for Mumbai Indians. Kohli and du Plessis themselves joked about this on Thursday evening, after their comprehensive win over the Gujarat Titans to inch closer to the play-offs. But the joke is getting serious. RCB's entry into the playoffs depends on the result of the match between Delhi Capitals and the Mumbai Indians. Should Delhi lose the game, RCB go in as Delhi will end with 14 points. A simple win for Delhi should take them through as their net run rate (+0. 255) is far superior to RCB's -0. 253.

Ahead of the game against Gujarat Titans, Kohli revealed how England batter Jos Buttler, who is currently leading the Orange Cap race with 627 runs including 3 hundreds and 3 fifties, came to him after the game against Rajasthan Royals, seeking advice.
