That's It! RCB face their second consecutive loss at home all thanks to Mayank Yadav and their poor fielding. First they dropped Quinton de Kock and Nicholas Pooran who went to make it big and then their chase got derailed in front of Mayank Yadav's sheer pace. Mahipal Lomror and Rajat Patidar tried their best but it was not to be. LSG will be elated given how they defended their score.Â

RCB's bowling is yet to turn up in the tournament. They picked some risky options in the auction ahead of the competition and they have been mostly hit or miss. Yash Dayal had a good start to the tournament but looked at his worst in the KKR game, it was topped by the poor performance of Alzarri Jospeh who looked clueless on how to stop the leakage of runs. RCB are short on their spinner depth and Mohammed Siraj is yet to gather momentum. The only bright spot has been Vyshak Vijay Kumar, who has shown how to adapt to the surface. Meanwhile, batting faces a big challenge with Cameron Green's batting number, Rajat Patidar's form and Mahipal Lomror's usage as imapct sub.  IPL 2024: Stuart Broad Excited About âVirat Kohli vs Mayank Yadavâ Battle in RCB-LSG Clash.
LSG have unearthed a key weapon for them in the IPL 2024 in the form of pace sensation Mayank Yadav. Mayank debuted for them in the PBKS game and straightaway clocked 155.8 kmph mark and troubled the PBKS batters. He sucked away the momentum of the PBKS batting helping LSG close the game down comfortably. Paired with Naveen-ul-Haq and Mohsin Khan, LSG's bowling attack looks threatening. Krunal Pandya and Manimaran Siddharth are likely to support the seamers. Meanwhile, Nicholas Pooran is in destructive form with the bat but he will need support from the players around him for a better performance.
