RR vs RCB, IPL 2021: Today match players list & umpires
An inconsistent Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be desperate to get some points on the board when they face the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Match 43 of the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL) in Dubai on Wednesday.
After the great escape against the Punjab Kings (PBKS), RR faced familiar problems against the Delhi Capitals (DC) and the bottom-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Skipper Sanju Samson has been the lone warrior for RR and the franchise cannot hope to progress unless others start contributing in significant measure.
RCB’s journey in the UAE began in the most forgettable fashion. They were crushed by the Kolkata Knight Riders (RCB) before losing to a much-superior Chennai Super Kings (CSK). In their previous match against the Mumbai Indians (MI), though, they got their act together. RCB need to build on the momentum now.

RR vs RCB: Who won the toss in today's IPL match?
RCB skipper Virat Kohli has won the toss and has decided to field first. England's George Garton will be making his IPL debut for RCB, replacing Kyle Jamieson.
Elaborating on his decision to bowl, Kohli said:
“Feel like the pitch remained good in the last game. If you get off a decent start you can get runs consistently. Feel as a batting unit we're doing a good job and want to continue that. Want to provide our bowlers with the conditions - it's a new pitch.”
In the zone 👌 👌

RR made one change to their team from the last match against SRH. A fit Kartik Tyagi comes in for Jaydev Unadkat.
