LSG vs RCB Preview
- KL Rahul has hit 537 runs in the tournament so far this year, and as the Lucknow Super Giants’ best run scorer in the Eliminator, he is highly worth backing. Avesh Khan has 17 wickets in 12 games and is our pick to be the best wicket taker for the Lucknow Super Giants versus RCB.
- Virat Kohli hit 73 runs off 54 balls against Gujarat Titans, and he is our pick for the greatest run scorer for RCB in this match. Wanindu Hasaranga has 24 wickets in the 2022 IPL, and we expect him to be the RCB’s top wicket taker against the Lucknow Super Giants.
- In his latest encounter, Glenn Maxwell struck two sixes out of 18 balls faced. He’s a great big-hitting batter, and we think he’ll be the Player to Hit The Most Sixes in this game.
On Wednesday evening, the Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore face off in the Eliminator of the 2022 Indian Premier League Play-Offs at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
