While this is the 3rd game of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, this will be the 4th game of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
Both the teams are coming on the back of contrasting fortunes in their previous game. RCB lost their previous game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Lucknow are coming on the back of a victory.
As we make fantasy teams for this game, there are a few players we must not miss out on in order to maximize our earnings and points.
In this article, we take a look at 5 must-have fantasy picks for today’s RCB vs LSG game:
1. Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore)
Former skipper and present batting mainstay, Virat Kohli is a rock-solid figure in RCB. He knows the team inside out and the stadium at Chinnaswamy in Bengaluru.
Virat Kohli is the all-time leading run-scorer at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru in the IPL and has scored 2428 runs for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
In the 1st game of RCB in IPL 2023, Kohli scored an unbeaten knock of 82* runs against Mumbai Indians.
2. KL Rahul (Lucknow Super Giants)
After a couple of failures in the first two games of LSG in this season, KL Rahul is back amongst the runs. He top-scorer for LSG in the previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad and mustered 35 runs before being trapped by leg-spinner Adil Rashid.
Rahul has previously played for Royal Challengers Bangalore and is a must-have member in your fantasy team. He knows the Chinnaswamy ground really well.
3. Mark Wood (Lucknow Super Giants)
The current Purple Cap holder in IPL 2023, Mark Wood is a tall and menacing bowler in the Lucknow Super Giants team. In IPL 2023 so far, he has bagged 8 wickets and looks pretty lethal.
If he can get his bearing right in this game, Lucknow would be a happy side. Nevertheless, he is a must-have bowler in your fantasy team. You can even make him your captain/vice-captain.
4. Kyle Mayers (Lucknow Super Giants)
There is something really special about West Indian players in the IPL. Be it Dwayne Bravo, Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine or Andre Russell, all of them have carved their own niche in the most competitive T20 franchise cricket in the world.
The latest to join the bandwagon is Kyle Mayers. Mayers has been in scintillating form in IPL 2023 and already has 2 fifties in 3 games in IPL 2023.
5. Krunal Pandya (Lucknow Super Giants)
Pandya spun a web and bamboozled the SRH batters in the previous game of the Lucknow franchise. He even bagged the player of the match award after his all-round performances.
The all-rounder took 3 wickets and scored a gutsy knock of 34 runs in just 23 balls.
