“I think he (KL Rahul) will aim to play a big innings but with a rapid approach. With the presence of Kyle Mayers, Stoinis and de Kock yet to come, LSG have a powerful batting line-up. So KL Rahul can take chances (for the big hits at the start),” mentioned Shastri.
Rahul has scored 63 runs in LSG’s first three matches in IPL 2023. Additionally, Shastri recognized LSG opener Kyle Mayers as a harmful participant who can create a robust basis for his workforce to publish an enormous whole. Mayers scored again-to-again fifties within the first two matches of IPL 2023.

Furthermore, Shastri believes that LSG might want to assess the circumstances earlier than deciding to drop Marcus Stoinis and play Mayers and Quinton de Kock, together with Nichlos Pooran and Mark Wood because the 4 abroad gamers.
“They can play with that combination but will have to assess the conditions first. I always think the bowling department should be strong with six proper bowlers,” mentioned Shastri.
Stoinis has had an underwhelming begin to IPL 2023, scoring 43 runs and never choosing any wickets. Shastri backed Wood to hassle the batters in Bengaluru and supported Avesh Khan to bowl alongside him.
“The floor in Bangalore will not permit spinners to come back within the recreation. So Avesh (Khan) can play together with Mark Wood. Wood will bowl effectively there as a result of it affords true bounce and his ball skids with the tempo, so he’ll bother the batsmen,” Shastri added.
LSG will search their third win of the season, whereas RCB will intention to get well from their 81-run defeat by Kolkata Knight Riders.
