RCB vs RR Top Player: IPLMatch 42 of 2025 features the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) going up against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the six-hitting paradise of M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Known for its short straight boundaries and true pace, this ground typically rewards clean strikers while presenting challenges for bowlers who struggle to maintain their lengths.
Below are the top five batters and bowlers from the two current squads, ranked by their career IPL statistics at this venue.
RCB vs RR Top Batters at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium
| Player | Matches | Runs | Avg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Virat Kohli (RCB) | 88 | 3043 | 46.1 |
| Rajat Patidar (RCB) | 12 | 361 | 40.1 |

| Nitish Rana (RR) | 7 | 126 | 21.0 |
| Tim David (RCB) | 4 | 123 | 41.0 |
Virat Kohli – Unsurpassed monarch of the Chinnaswamy with 3,000‑plus runs. His ability to switch gears and pierce gaps makes him RCB’s banker.
Rajat Patidar – Loves Bengaluru’s bounce and pace, averaging 40+ thanks to crisp drives square of the wicket.
Krunal Pandya – Though known for his bowling, Krunal’s 167 runs down the order are often brisk cameos that push RCB beyond par.
Nitish Rana – Now RR skipper, the southpaw has a useful record here from his KKR days; watch for his lofted offside strokes.
Tim David – Four outings, 123 runs, strike‑rate off the charts. If RCB need a 12‑ball 30, he’s their man.

Sandeep Sharma – RR’s new‑ball specialist knows the venue from his PBKS stint: 12 wickets in 8 matches – watch for knuckle‑balls.
Suyash Sharma – Mystery leggie with a skiddy googly; five strikes in limited chances show his upside if the track grips.
Josh Hazlewood – Only three games but already four breakthroughs; uses the steep bounce to cramp hitters who target the short straight fence.
