Revenge will be on the minds of RCB players as they go up against LSG in the reverse fixture of the Indian Premier League 2023 in Lucknow.
RCB are coming to Lucknow on the back of a crushing defeat at home against KKR, and beating LSG in their backyard isn’t going to be an easy task for RCB.
RCB Captain Faf du Plessis lost against KL Rahul and company in a high-scoring contest at home. RCB looks reliant on its top 3 batters, i.e., Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, and Glenn Maxwell. Their Indian players haven’t fired with the bat in IPL 2023, which is concerning, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan stated.
Irfan Pathan stated on Star Sports Cricket Live, “RCB will have to find a solution that if KGF (Kohli, Glenn, and Faf) do not work, then who will steer the team through troubled waters?” RCB’s middle order, whether it is Dinesh Karthik or Mahipal Lomror, appears to be pretty frail. In the last eight games, Karthik failed to demonstrate even once that the team could rely on him for big scores or during chases. The RCB management has to close this gap in their batting.
