LSG vs RCB Key battles:
Mitchell Marsh vs Josh Hazlewood
Mitchell Marsh will look to replicate the performance he delivered in the last few matches and will face the challenge of Josh Hazlewood, who will look to put on a strong show with the ball.
Ayush Badoni vs Krunal Pandya
The contest between Ayush Badoni and Krunal Pandya will be a mouth-watering one between two in-form players, and the former will look to carry his rich vein of form in the match against RCB.
Whereas Krunal Pandya, who has been the pick of the spinners for RCB, will look to get the better of Badoni and guide the team to an important win.
Virat Kohli vs Mayank Yadav
Virat Kohli, who is among the leading run scorers in the ongoing IPL season, will look to get the team off to a solid start and put pressure on Mayank Yadav, who is returning after a long injury layoff.
Mayank, on the other hand, will look to get the better of Virat in the first six overs and get much-needed confidence in order to bowl his team to a win in a crucial clash against RCB.
Rajat Patidar vs Digvesh Singh Rathi
The battle between Rajat Patidar and Digvesh Singh Rathi will be fascinating to watch, as Rajat Patidar is known for his attacking strokeplay against spinners.
While Digvesh has made a name for picking wickets in the middle overs, and will look to bounce back after a disappointing outing with the ball in the last match.
