Quinton de Kock played a good number of innings, scored 81 runs, and helped LSG reach 181 runs in the first innings. RCB tried to chase the target but didn't chase, and they all got out for 153, even though Mahipal Lomror hit some quick runs in that match, but it didn't help for victory. Young fast bowler Mayank Yadav bowled well and took 3 important wickets. It was a strong team performance by LSG, and they outplayed RCB on their home ground.

LSG: Impact Players

Himmat Singh: A right-handed batter who plays domestic cricket. He can be a good option if LSG lose early wickets and need someone solid in the first innings.

Manimaran Siddharth: A left-arm spinner who can be useful when the pitch helps spin bowlers. He was used as an Impact Player in LSG’s first match against Delhi and took two wickets.

Abdul Samad: A powerful hitter who did well for SRH last season. He can be a good choice to bring in during the second innings if batting becomes easier. Last match he played against PBKS, he scored 45 runs in 24 balls in a crucial time.

Rajvardhan Hangargekar: A bowling all-rounder with 14 wickets in 16 T20 matches. He can also hit some big shots and might be useful for a strong finish while batting first, as well as offering a bowling option later.

Mohit Rathee: A young all-rounder who bats in the middle and bowls leg-spin. He’s been in decent form, scoring 54 runs and taking 1 wicket in his last two T20 games.

Swastik Chikara: A domestic batter who’s been playing well recently. He can come in if RCB lose early wickets or if a top-order batter needs to be replaced.
