Indian cricket's biggest festival, the Indian Premier League is now into its 17th edition and like it has done over the years, the latest edition is also turning out to be an exciting one. In the 15th match of the season, we have Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) up against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and it promises to be another nail-biter at Chinnaswamy.

RCB have won one game out of the three played so far, while LSG have won one and lost one. The win in the last game will surely give the visitors a lot of confidence and they would be looking to build on that win with another successful outing against Faf du Plessis and co. who has not looked convincing so far.

So, what would be LSG's combination for the all-important match against RCB? Let's try to find out. 

Firstly, KL Rahul did not lead the team in the last game against Punjab Kings and only played a as a batter with injuries still haunting him. However, he is likely to take the leadership banton from Nicholas Pooran in this game, which would be a positive for LSG as Chinnaswamy is the original home ground of KL Rahul.

They handed debut to Mayank Yadav and Manimaran Siddharth in the last game and the former stole the limelight with his pace and match-winning performance with the ball. He will surely retain his place while Siddharth can be replaced by Shivam Mavi. 

Deepak Hooda is also a good option in place of Ayush Badoni with his big-hitting skills and can be used as an Impact Player if LSG bat second. If LSG bat first, Hooda will start in the XI and in the second half, Naveen-ul-Haq can be brought in as an Impact Player. Devdutt Padikkal has not fired so far at number 3, but he is a quality batter and likely to be backed.

Stoinis also needs to fire and Chinnaswamy is a perfect ground for him to finally get back in some form. 

Overall, LSG will be high on confidence and with Nicholas Pooran, Krunal Pandya and Quinton de Kock showing their batting prowess in the last game, expect LSG to deliver a strong performance.

Lucknow Super Giants Playing XI: Lokesh Rahul, Quinton de Kock (wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Nicholas Pooran (c), Deepak Hooda , Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan, Mayank Yadav, Shivam Mavi.


Impact Players: Ayush Badoni, Ashton Turner, Krishnappa Gowtham, Naveen-ul-Haq, Amit Mishra.
