LSG vs RCB Key Players

Kyle Mayers

With his explosive hitting and medium pace up front, Kyle Mayers has made himself a tough candidate to leave out. He gives the Lucknow management a happy headache with Quinton De Kock coming back, leaving Lucknow wondering who to leave out.

Mohammad Siraj

After a dull season in 2022 Siraj has come back roaring. He is doing a really good job in the first spell, and looks very threatening as he has picked up a wicket on most occasions within the powerplay. His opening burst will be crucial to RCB who now begin their journey away from home.
