RR vs RCB Eliminator 2024 Player of the Match Predictions

The Royal Challengers Bangalore have staged a remarkable comeback after a dismal start to the season. Down and out after winning just one of their first eight games, they've rattled off six consecutive victories to secure a playoff berth. Conversely, the Rajasthan Royals, who initially dominated the season with eight wins in nine games and a potential top-two finish, now find themselves in the eliminator after losing their last four matches. However, RR can take heart from their earlier victory over RCB in the 2022 playoffs at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

With the knockout stage upon us, the pressure on players will be immense. Some thrive under pressure, while others struggle. We'll now identify three players we believe can handle the pressure of this crucial eliminator match. We've also compiled the odds offered by leading IPL betting apps for these players, considering their head-to-head records and past performances at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

Virat Kohli has been in phenomenal form this season, averaging a staggering 64 runs with five fifties and a century to his name.

RCB captain Faf du Plessis has led by example, playing a crucial role in their victory against CSK in the crucial must-win match. He boasts a decent record against RR, having scored two fifties in his last three outings against them, making him a strong contender for the player of the match award.

RR vs RCB Player of the Match Odds

Virat Kohli, known for his ability to rise to the occasion in high-pressure matches, will be aiming for a match-winning performance in this crucial encounter.  His impressive numbers this season make him a strong favourite to be the standout performer in today's RR vs RCB clash. Despite Sanju Samson's recent slump in form, his importance to RR as both batsman and captain can't be understated.  Therefore, he remains our key pick for Rajasthan Royals.
