Hazlewood, who recently rejoined the RCB squad, has been recovering from hamstring and Achilles injuries and was unavailable for the team’s opening two matches this season. However, the Australian pacer has resumed training and participated in practice sessions, indicating a possible return to the playing XI.

RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, have started their campaign strongly with two consecutive wins. While their bowling unit has performed well in Hazlewood’s absence, the team could benefit from his experience against an in-form Rajasthan side.

Rajasthan Royals, captained by Riyan Parag, have been one of the standout teams this season, winning all three of their matches to sit atop the points table with six points.

Hazlewood has been out of competitive action since October 2025, when he last featured for Australia. He subsequently missed the 2025-26 Ashes series and the T20 World Cup earlier this year due to injury concerns.

The pacer was a key figure in RCB’s title-winning campaign last season, finishing as the team’s leading wicket-taker with 22 wickets in 12 matches at an average of 17.55. His return could provide a significant boost to Bengaluru’s bowling attack as they look to maintain their unbeaten run.

A final decision on Hazlewood’s inclusion is expected at the toss.
