Royal Challengers Bangalore

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) played a practice match in which Parthiv Patel, Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal were seen batting against the likes of Chris Morris and Umesh Yadav. AB de Villiers donned the gloves, adding further weight to speculation that he could be the team's full-time keeper in IPL 2020.
