The only blemish for RCB, incidentally, came in its first home match, against Gujarat Titans.
RCB skipper Rajat Patidar, who came into his own with a 32-ball 64 against Mumbai Indians a few days ago, will hope that a sweet homecoming awaits.
The home team will be encouraged by consistent contributions from Virat Kohli and Jitesh Sharma. Experienced left-arm spinner Krunal Pandya, who bagged four wickets against MI, has exceeded expectations with the ball.
If opener Phil Salt can find his groove, RCB can be near unstoppable.
