RCB look to snap home hoodoo as RR eye turnaround
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are gearing up to host Rajasthan Royals in a crucial Indian Premier League clash on Thursday at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. It's a massive opportunity for RCB to finally shake off a perplexing home jinx. Despite a perfect record on the road, winning all five of their away games, the team has stumbled at home, suffering three consecutive defeats. Meanwhile, they are coming off a win against Punjab Kings, and they will be confident to continue their winning momentum.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, arrive in Bengaluru carrying baggage of their own—a four-match losing streak that has left their campaign in freefall. To make matters worse, they will be without their regular skipper, Sanju Samson, who is sidelined with an abdominal injury. In his absence, Riyan Parag will lead the side as they hope to turn their season around. It is incredibly important for RR to snap their losing streak before it's too late.
