The former batsman of Indian cricket team Ambati Rayudu believes that Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be firm favourites in the Indian Premier League 2024 Eliminator against Rajasthan Royals, scheduled on Wednesday at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad.
Sharing his thoughts on the eliminator clash, Rayudu backed Bengaluru over Rajasthan, as the latter are coming off a washout against the Kolkata Knight Riders that dropped them to third place in the points table.
Rayudu said, “I think RCB are clear favourites for me because of the way they are playing and they’ve had a clinical game against CSK, and for RR, I don’t know if this gap in play will help; this washout would help them in going into an eliminator against RCB, who I feel right now are a mature side, and every player over there knows his role. So I think RCB are the ones who will eventually go into qualifiers 2.”
