The country and their rivalry have only escalated over the past few seasons.
The rejuvenated RCB have played some quality cricket this season and the return of Glenn Maxwell is going to give a huge boost to their batting unit. Maxwell had done extremely well for RCB last season and he would like to emulate this time also under new captain Faf du Plessis, who has also been impressive with his captaincy qualities.

The 2022 auctions forced Mumbai Indians to let go of many of their star cast and they are struggling to balance their absence this season. However, they managed to find some young stars in Tilak Verma and Dewald Brevis.
MI suffered a four-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals before losing to Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders by 23 runs and five wickets respectively.
It is important for Mumbai that their captain Rohit gets some runs under his belt. He has scored 41, 10 and 3 runs in the first three matches.
Despite their struggles, some players have done well individually. With scores of 81, 54, 14, Ishan Kishan is a revelation at the top for MI, while young Tilak Verma (22, 61, 38) has made a mark in the middle order.
RCB, led by South Africa’s Faf du Plessis, lost to Punjab Kings by five wickets in their opener before registering back-to-back victories over KKR (by 3 wickets) and Rajasthan Royals (4 wickets).
Du Plessis looked in good touch with Dinesh Karthik and Shabaz Ahmed but the team will be hoping that Virat Kohli will be back on the run.
On the bowling front, Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has been impressive while MI like David Willey and Harshal Patel will have to do well to get banned.
RCB will also be looking for consistency from Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep.
