RR vs RCB: RR to win the toss and choose to field first

We expect Rajasthan Royals's captain, Sanju Samson, to win the toss and choose to field first because they will play their first match at their original home ground, so our prediction is that the home crowd will support them and toss luck will favor them as they will aim to chase the target with their power-packed batting lineup in the second inning.

RR will mostly play with the same playing XI, with the exception of Wanindu Hasaranga replacing Fazalhaq Farooqi in the playing XI. Despite Farooqi's lack of form, RR appears to be a stable and strong team, making Haranga's all-round abilities crucial at Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

RR vs RCB Dream11 Prediction Impact Players List

Rajasthan Royals' impact players

Sanju Samson, Shimron Hetmyer, and Jofra Archer will be RR's impact players against RCB. Because RR is playing their first match on their original home ground, we predict that Sanju and Hetmyer will carry RR's batting lineup and destroy RCB's in-form bowling attack, while Jofra, as usual, will provide an early breakthrough in the power play with the new ball.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru impact players

Though RCB lost their previous match against DC, players such as Tim David and Bhuveshwar Kumar performed wonderfully in that match, with Tim scoring important runs in the death overs and Bhuvi delivering an impressive bowling performance in the end. The third impact player choice would be Virat Kohli, who is in excellent form and consistently scoring runs. These are the three players on whom the RCB team and fans are focused.

RR vs RCB Dream11 Team Today Stats

Highest run scorers: Sanju Samson (RR)

We anticipate Sanju to score the most runs in the upcoming match, as he has been in exceptional form this season, consistently scoring runs at a higher strike rate, and he has the potential to be the highest run scorer against RCB.

Highest wicket-taker: Bhuvneshwar Kumar (RCB)

Bhuvneshwar has recently improved his form, bowling well with the new ball and in the death overs. His variation has helped him take wickets in the IPL 2025, so we expect him to be the most successful bowler in the next match.

Jofra Archer has bowled fiery spells in this season's IPL, frequently reaching 150 km/h and troubling batters with the new ball and taking wickets in death overs, which is why he is the best contender from RR for the top pick.

Virat Kohli is the obvious choice for the top pick from RCB because he scores runs for his team while also winning matches, playing at a higher strike rate, and providing a quick start to his team.

RR vs RCB Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

CaptainsSanju Samson & Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Vice-CaptainsShimron Hetmyer & Virat Kohli

Sanju Samson is the best captaincy choice for RR, as he is in good form, scoring runs for the team, and delivering exceptional performances.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a slightly different captaincy pick from RCB, as Bhuvi is delivering consistent performances with the ball and providing early breakthroughs for his team; if he succeeds in the power play, he can take multiple wickets in the later stages of the game.
Shimron Hetmyer is a key batter for RR in the death overs because he can bat with a higher strike rate, take charge of any bowler, and shift momentum to his team, which is why he has been named RR's vice-captain for the next match.
Virat Kohli is the ideal vice-captain choice for RCB because he is in excellent form, consistently scores runs for his team, and has the potential to carry the entire batting lineup if he finds his form.
