IPL 2022, RCB vs MI, RCB Predicted XI: All Eyes On Glenn Maxwell

An in-form Royal Challengers Bangalore will look for their third win of IPL 2022 when they take on a winless Mumbai Indians at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Saturday night. After losing their opening match, RCB have one two on the trot and will be bolstered even further with the availability of Australian star Glenn Maxwell. The Australian all-rounder had been a revelation for RCB last season, and was retained by the team ahead of the IPL mega auction.

While the numbers are nothing to write home about, Rawat has showed flashes of his abilities. But a lot more will be expected from him, going forward.

Faf du Plessis: The South African veteran has shown exactly why RCB splashed the cash on him in the auction and appointed him the skipper of the team. Du Plessis has repaid the faith shown in him by being the top-scorer for the team so far. He has scored 122 runs at a strike-rate of 150.61 with a high score of 88.

He started well with a knock of 41 not out but was dismissed cheaply in the next two matches. RCB will be hoping Kohli makes a big contribution against Mumbai Indians.

Glenn Maxwell: The Australian star was RCB's top-scorer with 513 runs last season, and
