The 17th match of IPL10 season, 2017 is between Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Rising Pune Supergiants. Royal Challengers Bangalore received a major boost when captain Virat Kohli is back again. The two had more than their share of tense moments during Australia’s Test tour of India, which produced riveting cricket as well as extreme drama and ended with Kohli not too keen to leave on-field matters on the field. Both are strong teams on paper, yet both have won just one of their four encounters in IPL season. As a result, RCB are placed sixth on the table, while RPS are eighth. RCB look like a formidable unit, particularly since Kohli and AB de Villiers have returned after missing the first few games two for de Villiers and three for Kohli. While both the Bangalore mainstays marked their return to action with starring knocks, their team ended up on the losing side on both occasions.
