Royal Challengers Bangalore have suffered two defeats in a row during the business end of the Indian Premier League 2020.

A victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad guarantees them a spot in the IPL playoffs and captain Virat Kohli would look to get the best out of the team. They are likely to make some changes to their lineup when they face SRH.

Here is a look at the RCB Predicted XI against SRH:

Devdutt Padikkal: The dashing opener has been one of the finds of the IPL. He has provided the assurity and the flamboyance RCB needed at the top. Paddikal scored 74 against MI and will look to again fire against SRH.

Josh Phillipe: The 23-year-old Australian got a game against MI in place of Aaron Finch and he did not disappoint as Phillipe scored 33 runs. He is likely to retain his place.

Virat Kohli: RCB skipper has hit form after some initial struggle. He is one of the top-most scoring batsmen in this edition and will hope top fire again as RCB look to cement a top-two spot.

AB de Villiers: AB de Villiers didn’t look into his element against Chennai and Mumbai. He scored 39 runs in 36 balls against CSK while hitting just 15 against MI. But it is just a matter of time before Mr.360 hits a swashbuckling knock.

Gurkeerat Singh Mann: Dube was brought into the line-up against MI but failed to make a case as he scored just 2 and did not bowl an over. Gurkeerat Singh Mann could replace him against SRH.
