RCB began their campaign with a six-wicket defeat against Chennai Super Kings in the season opener, followed by a four-wicket win against PBKS. In their third fixture, they failed to build a winning streak, losing by seven wickets. Despite leading the Orange Cap race with 181 runs, Virat Kohli hasn’t received proper support from his team’s other batters.

The likes of Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell have been underperforming, with Dinesh Karthik being the only other in-form batter for RCB. Anuj Rawat started off the campaign brilliantly, but has failed to replicate that in their previous two matches.
Meanwhile, LSG began their season with a 20-run defeat against RR, and then bounced back with a 21-run victory against PBKS. KL Rahul’s participation remains doubtful once again, despite him featuring in all three matches. The India star wasn’t expected to don the gloves in the first few matches, but has been doing so, except for the PBKS win. He wasn’t supposed to feature in the match against Punjab, but batted and then was replaced by Impact Player Naveen-ul-Haq.
LSG also have some batting concerns. Quinton de Kock got a half-century in the previous game. But the likes of Devdutt Padikkal, Marcus Stoinis and Ayush Badoni are not in good form and one of them could lose their spot in the playing XI soon.
