IPL 2021 RCB vs RR head-to-head stats, records, highest run-getters, top wicket-takers, everything you need to know

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are the only unbeaten team in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League thus far, winning all their three games playing in Chennai. On the other hand, the Rajasthan Royals have had a scratchy start to the 14th edition of the IPL, winning just one game out of the three they have played.

The men in pink have enjoyed the dominance against their Friday's opponents in the recent games, winning three of the last five completed encounters in the six matches, with one being washed out. With RCB playing their first game in Mumbai, the Royals would want to bring their experience of playing the three games at the Wankhede Stadium to the fore against the table toppers.

Head-to-head: 23 games, RCB - 10, RR - 10, NR - 3

The Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals have faced each other 23 times in the 11 seasons of the IPL (the Royals were suspended for 2016 and 2017 seasons) since the inception of the lucrative league in 2008 and both sides have won 10 games each, with the three games being washed out due to rain.

However, in the last season, it was the RCB who won both games against the Royals. RCB won the first game easily chasing 155 runs with the help of Devdutt Padikkal's innings of 63 runs and skipper Virat Kohli's unbeaten knock of 72 runs. In the reverse fixture, it was the superman AB de Villiers, whose quickfire innings of 55 runs off just 22 balls helped RCB chase down 177 runs when they required 60 runs off the last four overs.

AB de Villiers leads the most runs list 

Royal Challengers Bangalore's ageless superstar AB de Villiers, is the leading run-scorer in the RCB vs RR games with 484 runs followed by skipper Virat Kohli, who has 482 runs to his name against the Royals. Ex-Rajasthan Royals batsman Ajinkya Rahane is on the third spot with 347 runs.

Yuzvendra Chahal is the leading wicket-taker

Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has the most wickets to his name for a bowler in the RCB vs RR games, with 16 scalps. He is followed by Rajasthan Royals leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal, who has dismissed by Kohli and De Villiers a few times now, with 14 wickets.
