IPL 2021: Today’s match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad, according to Gautam Gambhir, will be crucial in the IPL 2021.
SRH, who have already been eliminated from the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League, will face RCB, who are currently in third place in the points table. The match will be held at Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
Gautam Gambhir gave a preview of the aforementioned IPL 2021 match. He stated that it will not be an insignificant encounter in any way. He stated that the Virat Kohli-led team wants to cement their spot in the top two by winning their final two games.
“It’s not an irrelevant match. This is because it’s extremely important for RCB. They will know how crucial it is to finish in the top 2. Primarily for this reason, even if you slip up in qualifier 1, you would still have that one extra opportunity to reach the finals of the competition. Whereas, if any side finishes in third or fourth position, all their two months of hard work can be wasted easily.” he said

Gambhir also stated that the Bangalore franchise now has a strong chance of finishing in the top two teams. RCB will have 20 points if they win their next two matches, which are against SRH and DC, respectively.
“And they now have an opening as well. The other day, CSK lost to the DC, and now RCB only needs to win their remaining two matches. Yes, the net run rate might come into play, but Bangalore now has space and an opening. Moreover, the way they are playing right now, they would definitely hope to finish in the top two.” he said
