Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will go up against each other once again on Saturday (May 4) in Match 52 of IPL 2024 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Two sides recently met on April 8, in which Will Jacks played an exceptional knock to help RCB chase 201 in just 16 overs.

Before two star-studded teams collide yet again in IPL 2024, let's look at this fixture's most mouth-watering match-ups.

Even though du Plessis has not had faced Noor much, the South African international was dismissed by the Afghani mystery spinner last year when they had met three times. The RCB skipper is not at his scintilatting best this season, tallying 288 runs across 10 innings, which could even tempt Shubman Gill to bring Noor early in the powerplay.


Wriddhiman Saha Vs Mohammed Siraj

Saha and Siraj have been going face-to-face in IPL since 2018, and there was not a single time when the veteran wicket-keeper batsman dominated the right-arm quick. His overall record is pretty depressive as well, losing wickets three times in 35 balls while striking at a mere 105.7.

Ah, a battle like no other. Two of the legends of the game, who share a great bond off the field as well. However, Virat Kohli has the upper hand over Rashid Khan in IPL, even though he perished to the Afghanistani leggie.
