Both Jaiswal and du Plessis are in scintillating form and are the top-two run-getters in the tournament so far. While du Plessis is leading the scoring charts with 576 runs from 11 innings, including six half centuries and a best of 84, Jaiswal is a close second with 575 runs from 12 knocks that includes four fifties and a 124-run knock.

If both fire on Sunday, it will be a run-fest for the spectators. While Jos Buttler failed against KKR, he remains a big threat alongside Jaiswal at the top of the order for the Royals. While du Plessis has been consistent with the bat, Virat Kohli has sparkled in patches and RCB need both the batters to fire at the top to provide them a good start.
