RCB vs LSG: The 15th match will be played today in the Indian Premier League. The teams of RCB and LSG will face each other. Today's match is to be held at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, which is the home ground of RCB. Although this can be a matter of happiness for RCB, because the trend is going on in most of the matches, but the team had lost at home also, hence there is a matter of concern. Meanwhile, let us try to understand with which playing eleven both the captains will field today.

RCB and LSG have won one match each so far

RCB started its journey in this year's IPL with a defeat against CSK, but after that when the team returned home, it won. But the joy of this victory did not last long, because Bengaluru became the first team to lose at its own home this year. Talking about LSG, the team won the first match and then lost the second. That means both the teams are almost in the same boat. Both have two points with one win each. Also, they are out of the top 4 in the points table. Now whichever team wins today's match, it will get four points and will also get a jump in the points table.

There is no possibility of much change in the playing eleven in today's match.

There is no possibility of much change in the playing eleven of RCB and LSG today, but changes can definitely be made regarding the impact player. In the last match, RCB had batted first and brought in Vijay Kumar as an impact player after dropping Dinesh Karthik while bowling. Something similar can happen this time too, but if the team bats first then there will be options for Rajat Patidar and Mahipal Lomror. On the other hand, if the team bowls first then it is possible that Reece Topley may get a chance and be seen playing in the playing eleven.

Still suspense on KL Rahul's captaincy

In the last match for LSG, Nicholas Puran took over the responsibility of captaincy and KL Rahul came as an impact player. There has been no update yet regarding whether Rahul will play as captain today or the match will continue as before. In today's match, eyes will be on Ashton Agar and Naveen Ul Haq to see whether they are included in the playing eleven or whether the team brings them in as impact players later. Overall, the cards will open only when both the captains take the field for the toss at seven in the evening.

Probable playing XI of RCB: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (captain), Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Rajat Patidar/Mahipal Lomror, Anuj Rawat (wicketkeeper), Dinesh Karthik, Mayank Dagar, Vishak Vijaykumar, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal.

Probable playing XI of Lucknow Super Giants: KL Rahul (captain), Quinton de Kock (wicketkeeper), Devdutt Padikkal, Nicholas Pooran, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Ayush Badoni, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan, Mayank Yadav, M Siddharth.
