RR vs LSG Key Players

Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin, trusting his off-break and cutting down on his variations a touch, has looked a lot more threatening this seasons. So far, he has been among the wickets and has also shelved the run flow nicely, and looks very confident this season.

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.
