In the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) Eliminator, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) faced Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, May 22.
For both clubs, it’s a “now or never” situation because the victor will play Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2 on May 24 and the loser would be eliminated from the league. Returning to the game, RR chose to bowl first after winning the toss.

This was RR’s only roster alteration for the pivotal match. But RCB committed to their formula for success and went into the match with the same lineup.
