Their previous game against KKR was washed out in Bengaluru. Whether this long break will serve as a double-edged sword for RCB remains to be seen.
RCB are still awaiting the arrival of their best bowler Josh Hazlewood. The Australian, who missed the previous game due to a shoulder niggle, is expected to rejoin the side only by this weekend.
