Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will take on Gujarat Lions (GL) in match No 44 of Vivo Indian Premier League (IPL) at Bangalore's Chinnaswamy Stadium. This match promises to provide fireworks, as both teams have a number of T20 superstars in their ranks, who have proved their mettle at the international level as well. RCB have always been the heavyweights on paper but managed to enter the finals only twice, that is, in 2009 and 2011.

On the other hand, it is Lion's first stint in IPL and will try to leave its mark by defeating the tournament favourites RCB on their home turf.
Led by India's star batsman Virat Kohli, RCB is the team every cricket fan would like to bet his money on. To add more sting to their batting and bowling firepower, RCB drafted former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson into the team.

With Chris Gayle already at the top of the order, the Lions' bowlers will have a tough time putting a lid on the runs on a belter of pitch like Bangalore.Lions will be captained by Suresh Raina and boasts of T20 stalwarts such as Dwayne Bravo, Aaron Finch, Brendon McCullum, Dwayne Smith, Dale Steyn and Ravindra Jadeja. Considering Bangalore's pitch offers very little to the bowlers, Lions will go for an extra batsman instead of Dale Steyn.

Former New Zealand captain recently retired from all the formats of international cricket. Fans across the globe will be itching to see him take the center stage and showcase his superior batsmanship.
We saw Bangalore crowd cheering for AB de Villiers during ICC World T20 2016 last month. The admiration a foreign player like de Villiers gets is umatched.

However, looking at the team composition Lions' feature, it will be an uphill task for RCB to emerge victorious in front of its boisterous home crowd.
