Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) kick off their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 campaign against five-time champions Mumbai Indians at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB, who finished fourth last season, have made it to the playoffs in each of the last three seasons. However, they have failed to reach the final since 2016. Eyeing their first IPL title, RCB have added a lot of firepower into their bowling unit, with England pacer Reece Topley one of the prominent arrivals. MI, on the other hand, tie a record-extending sixth title, following an underwhelming campaign last year.
