The tenth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) draws near as the two arch-rivals, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Kolkata Knight Riders, get ready to face off against each other. The fanbase of the two teams has been at daggers drawn since the tournament's inception. Although KKR has been the dominant team in the faceoff so far, these two teams have given us some games to remember, and it has always been a tough battle when the two teams have taken the field against each other. 

The two teams will play against each other in the tenth game of IPL 17 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The wicket at this venue will be good for batting. The batters will enjoy the bounce and pace on the wicket. However, the record of the RCB batters against the spinners could worry the team.

Table: Record of RCB Batters against Spinners

A look at the record of the RCB batters against the spinners gives us an idea that barring Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis, none are efficient enough. Varun Chakravarthy, Suyash Sharma, and Sunil Narine will operate in the middle overs. The middle-order of RCB comprising Rajat Patidar, Dinesh Karthik, Glenn Maxwell, Anuj Rawat, and Mahipal Lomror will be playing against them. The record of these batters gives us the idea that they will struggle a lot against the KKR spin trio. 


Way out for RCB

RCB could use Faf du Plessis or Virat Kohli at number three for this game. This would provide them with depth against the spinners. However, if they are unwilling to change their batting order, one of these two will have to ensure that they play long and increase their efficiency against the KKR spin trio.
