IPL 2024: Match 15, RCB vs LSG Today Match Prediction - Who will win today's IPL match?

Royal Challengers are off to a shaky start, with their batting not looking the greatest. The batting lineup revolves around Virat Kohli, with Dinesh Karthik providing the fireworks in the end. In between though there a lot of concern with the middle-order short on runs.

Lucknow though will be very impressed with their new find Mayank Yadav. He pushed the pace up really well and looks very intimidating with the ball. Their batting too is falling in place with batters in the middle looking to strike big and hard.

RCB vs LSG Key Players

Mayank Yadav

Mayank Yadav has announced himself on the big stage. He was cranking it up to 155Ks in the previous game. The length at which he bowled as well was exactly where that sort of pace can have batters under all sorts of uncertainty.

Dinesh Karthik

In what is his last season, Dinesh Karthik has been very impressive. His batting in the back end has been full of clarity with Dinesh Karthik once again going back to how he was in 2022 when he excelled as a finisher, with a clear role of pushing the scoring rate up.
