Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are clashing against each other in the 43rd match of the Indian Premier League 2023 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on  Monday, May 1. In the last meeting, LSG defeated RCB when they need 1 run on the last ball of the match. However, RCB will surely look to avenge their loss.

Meanwhile, during the 1st innings, LSG suffered a huge blow when their skipper KL Rahul got injured while he was running to stop the ball which was going towards the boundary rope for a four. The right-handed batter looked in a lot of pain as he pulled his hamstring while running. He wasn’t even able to stand on his own as the medical staff came on the ground to help and took him back to the dressing room.

There will be a little more turn in the second innings: Faf du Plessis

Talking about the match, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and opted to bat first. Openers Virat Kohli and du Plessis provided a slow start as the pitch looked pretty difficult. The spinners didn’t let RCB score runs in the powerplay as they scored only 42 runs in the first 6 overs. However, during the toss, both captains talked about the pitch and revealed changes.

"We are gonna have a bat. There will be a little more turn in the second innings I feel. I feel much better now. We got Josh Hazelwood in tonight, and Anuj comes in for Shahbaz. Our squad is well-suited for these conditions. It is just about batting well tonight," Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Faf du Plessis said at the time of the toss.

"It is just going to be hard work on this pitch for both teams. Just one change. Avesh Khan misses out and K Gowtham comes in. Having played here twice, we know that spin will be used more than pace here. Just want to hold our composure during crunch moments. The only thing we spoke about is to not come with a fixed mindset and we gotta bowl well and restrict them to a low total," Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul said.
