IPL 2022, LSG vs RCB Live Score Updates: Lucknow Super Giants face Royal Challengers Bangalore in Eliminator 2 of the ongoing IPL 2022 playoffs at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Debutant LSG have been consistent throughout the season, and finished third in the points table.
All eyes will be on Virat Kohli as Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Kohli is going through a rough patch at the moment, and has scored 309 runs in 14 games. However, the former RCB skipper scored a blistering 73 in their last group game against Gujarat Titans. Ahead of RCB's do-or-die game against LSG, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar said that he expects a big knock from Kohli, whom he also called the "greatest player of the modern era".
Royal Challengers Bangalore might not have played the IPL final since 2016, when they came up short against SunRisers Hyderabad, but the team has been consistent in the league for the past two seasons, making it to the playoffs. IPL 2022 is the third straight year when the Team in Red is through to the knockout stages and they will take on new boys Lucknow Super Giants on Wednesday in the Eliminator.
Indian Premier League (IPL) side Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has revealed that when South African stalwart AB de Villiers decided to quit the team and announced his retirement at the end of the 2021 season, the team was taken aback. But the way wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has shaped up this season, he has become "that rock" of the side. "DK (Dinesh Karthik) has probably been that rock. When you miss a guy like AB (de Villiers), we talked about how you are going to replace AB and now we are not doing that, but he (Karthik) has been exceptional in terms of finishing," said Mike Hesson, RCB's director of cricket operations, on RCB Bold diaries before the Eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants at the Eden Gardens here later on Wednesday. The last few games played by RCB witnessed their batters putting up a fine show while their much-talked about top order sprang back to life in the last league game against Gujarat Titans. With the team keeping its hopes alive of making it to the final, Hesson felt that a collaborative effort from Virat Kohli, skipper Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell helped the side tame the Titans.
Royal Challengers Bangalore will square off against Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Wednesday. Lucknow had finished the league stage at the third spot while RCB qualified for the playoffs as the fourth team after Delhi Capitals lost their final match against Mumbai Indians. The biggest positive for RCB heading into this game is the form of Virat Kohli as scored 73 runs against Gujarat Titans in the previous game. Even Glenn Maxwell is among runs and RCB would be looking to put in a complete performance against Lucknow.
AB de Villiers is one cricketer who enjoys a great fan following in cricket and whenever someone talks about Royal Challengers Bangalore, the former Proteas batter always comes to mind. Now, the former South Africa captain has revealed that he would definitely be around the cash-rich league next year as he would love to return to the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. However, de Villiers also said that right now he is not sure in what capacity he would join the tournament.
Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma's poor form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is not a matter of concern as he will be back among the runs soon, according to BCCI president Sourav Ganguly. The record five-time IPL winning Mumbai Indians skipper had a woeful season finishing with 268 runs from 14 innings at an average of 19.14 with a modest strike-rake 120.17 as their team finished at the bottom of the standings this season. "Everybody is human. There will be mistakes but Rohit's record as captain is outstanding. Five IPL titles, Asia Cup winner, he has won whatever he has captained, so his record as captain is outstanding. Mistakes will happen because they are all human," Ganguly said on the sidelines of a promotional event.
Former Proteas star batter AB de Villiers has confirmed he could return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) next year for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, likely to be in a coaching or consultancy capacity.
