Welcome to the coverage of the 11th match of the Indian Premier League between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.

Both teams will be keen to continue the momentum, having won their previous matches after starting the tournament with losses.

RCB are placed fifth and Royals sixth on the points table with two points each, with both teams having won their last games after starting the tournament with defeats.

They had lost their opening games to Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad respectively.

RCB notched up their first victory of the season, riding on South African star AB de Villiers' brilliant half-century to beat Kings XI Punjab by four wickets.

RR celebrated their return to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium with a 10-run win over Delhi Daredevils in the rain-hit match, getting past a revised target of 71 runs in six overs as per the Duckworth-Lewis method.

Captain Virat Kohli, who has 52 runs under his belt so far, will be itching to make a mark by getting a big knock.

Brendon McCullum also would like to get into the thick of things, especially after getting a golden duck.

Ben Stokes, the most-expensive signing at the IPL Player Auction 2018, hasn't been in the best of batting form recently, but RR will hope he can start hitting a few balls out of the park soon. He has just managed 21 runs in two games.
