RCB should be fresh after a long break. They have not won a game close to a month now. Their last win came on April 18. Kohli has mentioned that this edition has been so poor for RCB that the players have laughed it off. The big news from the RCB camp is the absence of AB de Villiers. Though he has not been at his usual best, AB has been one of the pillars of RCB’s batting. Having played for DD in the earlier IPL years, the South African stalwart knew the ground well. To make things even, DD too will be without their South African stars — Chris Morris and Kagiso Rabada. DD vs RCB, IPL 2017, match 56 preview and likely XI: Only pride at stake in dead rubber
RCB are a dangerous side and possess some of the best cricketers in the world. With the numbers by their side they may just pull off a consolation win with Kohli making another appearance special at his real home ground. RCB have the numbers but DD have the form.
