PBKS vs RCB, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 3
The Punjab Kings (PBKS) will meet the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Match 3 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday. This will be the evening game of the first double-header of this year’s edition.
Both PBKS and RCB will go in with new leaders in the new season. The Punjab franchise will be led by opener Mayank Agarwal, with KL Rahul having moved to the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). As for RCB, Faf du Plessis will take charge of the squad, with Virat Kohli having quit the captaincy last season.
Punjab have a strong squad, with the likes of Shikhar Dhawan and Liam Livingstone having joined the franchise. However, Agarwal has an unenviable task as a leader since the IPL team hasn’t made the playoffs since 2014.
RCB have done better. They have reached three finals and made the IPL playoff matches in each of the last two seasons. However, they are still in the hunt for their maiden IPL title and hope to enter the list of IPL winners.
