Royal Challengers Bengaluru's director, Mo Bobat, reported significant progress in skipper Rajat Patidar's recovery from a finger injury, with a noticeable reduction in swelling.

Patidar practiced without protective gear, raising anticipation for his return against Kolkata Knight Riders. Meanwhile, Josh Hazlewood remains absent, recovering from a shoulder niggle with Cricket Australia.

The IPL's rescheduling has complicated team strategies, affecting player availability. RCB anticipates losing Jacob Bethel and Lungi Ngidi soon to national duties, prompting considerations for team replacements to adapt to these changes.
