Shardul Thakur’s enterprising knock and KKR’s mystery spinners have raised concerns over RCB’s batting depth and death bowling. LSG though will be happy with how their spinners managed to choke SRH, and with how Krunal Pandya performed in particular. They still have questions with regards to Quinton De Kock’s inclusion, but those are rather happy headaches.

RCB vs LSG Key Players

Mohammad Siraj

Mohammad Siraj looks menacing with the new-ball. Barring a few wides in the death, he was pretty good in the back end too. His pace though has been very sharp and he has been getting the ball to pitch and move from some really good areas making him a really tough character to pick in the powerplay.

Kyle Mayers

With his explosive hitting and medium pace up front, Kyle Mayers has made himself a tough candidate to leave out. He gives the Lucknow management a happy headache with Quinton De Kock coming back, leaving Lucknow wondering who to leave out.

Rivalries to Watch out For

KL Rahul vs RCB: KL Rahul’s record against RCB is a rather good one. His striker-ate against them is pretty high at 147, and his century against them in 2020, remains fresh as it was an incredible display of aggression and capitalization of opportunities. He knows the Chinnasamy as well as anyone, and Bangalore will be keeping an eye on him despite his below par returns so far.

RCB vs SRH Match Tips

RCB and LSG have produced some nice games in the past with RCB coming out on top. With a small ground ahead though, LSG will feel they are in with an advantage, although they are playing away from home.
