Samson & Kohli betting – Rajasthan vs. RCB IPL betting odds & tips
The Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are ready to battle it out for a place in the top-four in the 53rd match of the Indian Premier League in Jaipur on Saturday.
A win would more or less settle the issue for Rajasthan, whereas a defeat will send Bangalore packing as they will not have any hope left of making it to the next round.
In their last match, Rajasthan looked on course for another victory against Kolkata Knight Riders after scoring 60 inside first five overs without losing a wicket. But a monumental collapse handed the Dinesh Karthik-led side an easy win.
Therefore, team management will be focused on an improved batting performance in this encounter.
The responsibility will be with their in-form player Jos Buttler, who has scored five half-centuries in their last six innings and is the franchises’ leading run-getter with 548 runs in 13 matches at an average of 54.80. Apart from him, young Sanju Samson is also having a decent tournament with the bat with 391 runs at an average of 32.58.
In the bowling department, the focus will be on the likes of pacer Jofra Archer, who is leading the proceedings for first season’s champions with 13 wickets in just eight matches.

On the other hand, RCB is on a good run as well and will be looking to keep the momentum in their all-important tie.
The team has been heavily reliant on the likes of captain Virat Kohli and star batsman AB de Villiers to put most of the runs on the board, and the duo have responded in a really positive manner as well with more than 900 runs in between them.
In the bowling department, the focus will be on pacer Umesh Yadav to deliver the goods just like he is doing for the franchise in the recent past with 17 wickets, and leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has also put in some impressive performances with 11 wickets so far.
