KL Rahul's Lucknow Super Giants will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday (April 19) at DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai. Debutant team Lucknow will head into this game after a win over Mumbai Indians, while RCB outplayed Delhi Capitals in their previous clash at Wankhede Stadium. Both the teams have had successful outings so far in the league, as both have four wins and two losses under their belt.
Due to the difference in net run rate, Lucknow Super Giants are currently placed at second position in the points table, whereas RCB is at third. Faf du Plessis-led RCB have a few concerns that they will hope to undo in their next game as the skipper himself hasn't been able to perform since the first game. Even another opener, Anuj Rawat, looked scratchy and will be eyeing to show some of his potentials. Although Virat Kohli looked positive and has been active on the field with his spectacular fielding, his batting is a primary concern for the side.
He has been run-out twice in the tournament and must be hoping not to repeat the same. Dinesh Karthik is the most significant positive for the side, as he has been winning games single-handedly for the side while eyeing a return to the national side for the T20 World Cup. On the other hand, KL Rahul is in sublime form and has amassed 235 runs, including a ton against Mumbai.
Quinton de Kock, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Marcus Stoinis and Jason Holder are a few quality batters who bolster their middle order. The performances of Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi have been exceptional throughout the tournament.
