Aaron Finch will decide today's fate, if it's a run feast

8 Points in bag, 3rd on the points table, the road to playoffs might be easier this time, but never guaranteed! Today's game will be vital for our chances. We will go on a roll this week with KKR, KXIP and RR in a span of 6 days. A right start will take us through. KKR is a good unit, they bat deep, they have variety in their bowling and most importantly Andrew Russell, one name we will never forget. They will test our skills, bring the best out of us. The truth is we depend on our top four, and there is nothing to worry, because everyone up there is a match winner.

RCB have never lost, whenever Padikal starts well. But if it's a run feast today, all departments should come good. Not to deny the fact that Dube has been excellent this season, and with Morris and Gurkeerat, the lower middle order looks promising but lacks experience. In the case of our opponent tonight, the top order is inexperienced, but the latter is solid. If Aaron could break the shackles and play the way he is best at and guide us through, our middle order will do the rest. But if he fails again, it puts pressure on young Padikkal and the rest of the team. It's the inswinger that's troubling him, hope he makes the required corrections and comes back stronger.
