IPL 2024 – Match 15, RCB vs LSG: Ayush Badoni Out, Deepak Hooda In? Lucknow Super Giants Probable Playing 11 vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Ayush Badoni's performances in his last two innings are raising concerns for LSG.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in match 15 of IPL 2024 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on 2nd April, Tuesday.
LSG won their last match against PBKS by 21 runs and RCB lost their previous match to KKR by 8 wickets. RCB has just one win after playing three matches and LSG also has one win so far out of two matches.
Mayank Yadav to Continue over Yash Thakur:
Mayank Yadav impressed everyone on his debut against PBKS by consistently bowling deliveries above 150 kmph. Mayank won the Player of the Match award for LSG with his figures of 3 for 27 in 4 overs.
Yash Thakur who played the first match and was part of the XI last year too will have to wait for his chance now as Mayank has sealed his spot in the XI.
Deepak Hooda Could Replace Ayush Badoni:
Deepak Hooda who came in as an impact player for LSG in the first match and had scored 26 off 13 balls might get his place back in the XI, replacing Ayush Badoni.
Ayush Badoni has got backing from the LSG management but with him failing for two consecutive matches now, It will be interesting to see if he gets another opportunity or not.
Devdutt Padikkal’s Form is a Concern for LSG:
Devdutt Padikkal who was traded from RR to LSG hasn’t found his form for LSG, Devdutt’s performance in IPL has been on a decline since the year 2022.
LSG will be hoping for better results from their number 3 batter or they may think about opening with him and Rahul moving to 3 or 4 number.
Probable XI of LSG vs RCB:
Quinton de Kock (wk), KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal, Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran (C), Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan, Manimaran Siddharth, Mayank Yadav.
Impact Player – Naveen Ul Haq/Ashton Turner
