Chris Gayle could be playing his first IPL match this season. The Jamaican has been unwell due to food poisoning but he is now fit and raring to go. KXIP will need Gayle's big-hitting skills against RCB in Sharjah where the boundaries are shorter. It is a must-win game for KXIP as they have suffered six defeats out of seven matches and their only win came against RCB in Dubai on September 24. KL Rahul scored the first century of IPL 2020 in that match and KXIP won by 97 runs.
But the script has changed dramatically after that. RCB has really picked up their pieces well and with five wins and two defeats are third on the IPL table and are looking good for a spot in the playoffs. Virat Kohli has led the team from the front but the man who has been making all the difference is AB De Villiers. The South African has been in tremendous form and his 73 not out off 33 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders in RCB's last match has been one of the most-talked-about innings of this IPL so far.
RCB will start strong favourites on Thursday. Their bowling has been strong and young all-rounder Washington Sundar has served Kohli's team well. KXIP will have to play a perfect match to win two full points and keep themselves afloat in the tournament. Watch RCB vs KXIP live.
