RCB hope for batters to fire in unison against dangerous LSG

Match detailsBengaluru, 1930 IST (1400 GMT)LSGRCB brought in fast bowler Vyshak Vijaykumar as an Impact Sub for Dinesh Karthik in the previous game. But there’s a case for Vyshak to be in the first XI. He enjoyed a breakout 2023-24 domestic season as a lower-order batter, scoring a maiden first-class century and List A fifty. Patidar or Mahipal Lomror could be likely candidates to be Impact Sub when they bat, with Reece Topley likely to be subbed in when they bowl.LSG’s Impact Strategy will hinge on Rahul’s fitness. For now, it’s likely they’ll sub in the big-hitting Ashton Turner or Naveen-ul-Haq for Rahul or another batter.RCB head coach Andy FlowerNicholas Pooran on new head LSG head coach Justin Langer
