This is going to be an interesting game because it will once again given Indian fans a chance for them to compare the T20 captaincy skills of RCB skipper Virat Kohli and Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma. Many Indian fans believe that R Sharma should captain the Indian team in T20 cricket, given his massive success with the Mumbai Indians.

With the T20 World Cup taking place in 2021, Kohli will feel a little bit of pressure to do well in the IPL and silence the noise that he is not the best man to lead India during the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Current Odds: 4/7

Mumbai Indians have a talented bunch of players that can win the game for their side on any given day. We pick R Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav as the two key players to watch out for in the batting department while we pick Trent Boult as the main bowler that can run through the RCB batting line-up.

If Mumbai Indians can get their IPL campaign started with a win, bettors are going to be keener to back them to win their third IPL championship on the trot.

Current Odds: 13/10

Captain Virat Kohli has said that he is going to open the batting during this IPL and will be their key batsman along with AB Devilliers. We are also going to pick Glenn Maxwell who is the latest addition to the RCB.

In the bowling department, keep your eyes out for Kiwi Kylie Jamieson who was a costly buy for RCB.
