Up against the second-placed LSG, RCB will need to address their top-order woes. While skipper Faf du Plessis has failed to fire since the opening game, opener Anuj Rawat has looked scratchy. Virat Kohli continues to have a frustrating season.

Despite looking in good form, the former RCB captain has failed to get the big runs. However, the arrival of Maxwell has strengthened the side.

The Australian all-rounder blasted 55 of 34 balls to get the momentum going in the chase against DC.

Meanhwile, Karthik is revelling in his role as a finisher, single-handedly winning matches for his new side. The seasoned wicketkeeper batter has not put a foot wrong in the ongoing season, playing some of the finest knocks as he bids to make a comeback for the national team.

On the bowling front, Josh Hazlewood bowled an exceptional spell against DC that swayed the match in RCB's favour and the Australian pacer would be eager to continue in the same vein.

Alongside Hazlewood, Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga will be key in stopping Rahul and Co while death overs specialist Harshal Patel will also have to play his role to perfection.

LSG vs RCB — It'll be an interesting battle between KL Rahul and Glenn Maxwell.

On the other hand, Rahul (235 runs) has led the new entrants admirably. The skipper himself is in sublime form.

He registered his maiden century of the season against MI and sits only behind Rajasthan Royals' Jos Buttler (272 runs) in the leading run-scorer chart.

LSG also have enough fire power in De Kock, who has been in good form, young Ayush Badoni, the big-hitting Deepak Hooda and Krunal Pandya to name a few.

LSG have further been bolstered by the addition of the multi-talented duo of Jason Holder and Marcus Stoinis. The pace-spin duo of Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi have managed to hold their own against some of the most established names.
