Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be meeting each other in the upcoming 42nd match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season on Thursday, April 24th. The big-ticket clash will take place at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru and is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST.

RCB are coming on the back of their fifth consecutive away win and will be desperate to continue their good form to end their losing streak at home. On the other hand, RR, who suffered close defeats in their last two outings, will be eyeing a comeback and make a turnaround to their underwhelming campaign so far.

As another mouthwatering encounter contest awaits from Bengaluru, here are the top three captain and vice-captain choices for RCB vs RR Match 42 of IPL 2025.

3. Phil Salt

Why Will Phil Salt Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Phil Salt will be instrumental for RCB to get a flying start against the new ball. He was the top run-scorer for RCB with a magnificent 65 off 33 and won the player of the match when RCB and RR met last time earlier this season in Jaipur.

Salt will be looking to replicate what was a brutal hitting against RR in Jaipur, especially in the powerplay where he has been RCB’s best player of the season (187 runs at 185.15 SR). It is advisable to keep him among the captain and vice-captain choices for his ability to give aggressive starts which can earn you maximum fantasy points early in the game.

2. Yashasvi Jaiswal

Why Will Yashasvi Jaiswal Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Yashasvi Jaiswal continues to be a top fantasy pick for the upcoming RR matches. After what was a poor start of IPL 2025 for the left-hander, Jaiswal has turned it around scoring runs for fun in the recent games.

In the last five outings, Jaiswal has been by far RR’s best batter as he has scored 273 runs at a 54.6 average. Moreover, he has converted his good starts into big scores, scoring four half-centuries in the last five matches.

1. Virat Kohli

Why Will Virat Kohli Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Despite having a tough time batting at home, Virat Kohli will any day start as one of the top fantasy picks ahead of any RCB game. The legendary batters’ numbers at the M. Chinnaswamy speaks for himself, especially in the last two years where he has been averaging 51.71.

This year he has scored only ten runs per game in Bengaluru but has form on his side to turn it around. Kohli has been RCB’s highest run-scorer with 332 runs at an average of 64.40. He is coming off a brilliant unbeaten half-century in the last match and also scored one against RR in their previous meeting.
