Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will go up against each other on Thursday (May 9) in Match 58 of IPL 2024 at HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala. Needless to say, both sides would desperately like to win this fixture here, as a defeat could shatter their slim playoff hopes.

Before the two teams take on each other, let's take a look at which interesting matchups could bring joy and delight to viewers.

Two of the best in their respective departments, Kagiso Rabada and Virat Kohli will go head-to-head in the former's much favourable conditions. Rabada anyway has a great record against Kohli in IPL, as the above-mentioned numbers suggest. Brace yourselves to see them go up against each other again.


Jonny Bairstow Vs Glenn Maxwell

Don't even dare to bring in Maxwell whenever Jonny Bairstow is in the middle. The Englishman has torn Maxwell apart in the past, playing only two dots out of their 13 face-offs. Therefore, needless to say, a venue like this can be a nightmare for Maxwell, the bowler.


Faf du Plessis Vs Harshal Patel

Faf du Plessis has struggled against Harshal a lot, and his strike rate of 64.7 after 17 deliveries speaks volumes. The South African international, in fact, has lost his wicket twice against the former RCB man, who won the Purple Cap in their colours in IPL 2021.
