Welcome to the 34th match of the Indian Premier League between Rising Pune Supergiant and Royal Challengers Bangalore in Pune on Saturday.

Chris Gayle has been dropped by RCB as he is replaced by pacer Adam Milne, while Stuart Binny and Sachin Baby come in for Aniket Choudhary and Mandeep Singh respectively.

For Pune, all-rounder Ben Stokes has still not recovered his shoulder injury and continues to miss out. Faf du Plessis is relegated to the sidelines yet again after a solitary chance in IPL 10 in the previous match as he makes way for fast bowler Lockie Ferguson. There is yet another change as Deepak Chahar is included in place of Shardul Thakur.
