New Delhi: In their first IPL 2023 match, Royal Challengers Bangalore, led by Faf du Plessis, will play Mumbai Indians, led by Rohit Sharma. The conflict will be played at the M Chinnaswamy Arena in Karnataka.
Last year, MI came in last on the points table, and they hope to be stronger this time around. However, they will have to compete in this season’s Indian Premier League without their outstanding pacer, Jasprit Bumrah. On the other hand, RCB’s attempt to win their first IPL trophy came to an end during the qualifiers last year.
Fans will also be excited to see Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli back in action. These two are two of the biggest cricketing names in the world and have a surreal fandom. Both teams will like to get off with a win to start their campaign in the tournament.
