Before it’s too late, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be driven to make a comeback in the competition. Verify SRH vs. RCB possible XIs.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Struggle for Redemption Against Sunrisers Hyderabad
For Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who have now lost five of their six IPL 2024 games and are well behind in the postseason battle, time is running out. Having fallen to the bottom of the ladder, RCB will next play at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru against the formidable Sunrisers Hyderabad. The RCB bowling unit’s ability to contain the potent SRH batting lineup of Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma, and Aiden Markram will be put to the test.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru management may decide to go to their bench and award Lockie Ferguson his first cap by benching Reece Topley after their crushing of the Mumbai Indians.
Glenn Maxwell’s injury from the previous game may provide Cameron Green another opportunity to excel while wearing the Royal Challengers Bengaluru jersey.
Despite playing at home, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will not have an easy game since SRH has been attacking in packs this season, which is different from Faf du Plessis and Co.’s performance so far.
If the Indians choose to bowl first, they will probably field the following lineup: Lockie Ferguson, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, Mahipal Lomror, and Dinesh Karthik (wk).
If RCB chooses to bat first, they will probably start with the following lineup: Lockie Ferguson, Mohammed Siraj, Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, Mahipal Lomror, Saurav Chauhan, and Virat Kohli.
Sunrisers Hyderabad hopes to keep gaining ground.
So far in the competition, Pat Cummins and company have played a bold style of cricket, with their batsmen playing with aggression rather than focusing on reaching milestones.
They have a strong blend of Indian and foreign players in one of the most potent batting lineups in the competition.
This season, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, and Heinrich Klaasen have all been in amazing form. Nitish Reddy, a 20-year-old, showed promise in the most recent game by scoring a magnificent half-century.
With their strong pace attack, SRH may potentially be a serious danger to Virat Kohli and the other RCB hitters who have previously shown their inconsistent play.
Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Rahul Tripathi, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Abdul Samad, Nitish Reddy, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins (c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Jaydev Unadkat are the potential members of the SRH starting XI if they bat first.
If bowl first, SRH’s probable starting XI would be: Pat Cummins (c), Abdul Samad, Nitish Reddy, Shahbaz Ahmed, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Jaydev Unadkat, T Natarajan.
