Times Of India's video: IPL 2024 LIVE: Bengaluru Vs Lucknow Prediction Mumbai Vs Rajasthan Highlights TOI Cricket Calling

Glenn Maxwell and Nicholas Pooran displayed their prowess with big hits, showcasing the typical range-hitting skills expected in T20 cricket. The practice sessions on Monday reflected the aggressive batting approach expected from both RCB and LSG: fun, free-flowing, and fearless. There were more personnel in the stands than on the field, retrieving balls hit out. Despite Virat Kohli's consistent performances, RCB's top order is yet to hit top gear. Faf du Plessis has struggled in the last two games after a strong start in Chennai, while Cameron Green, their new No. 3, hasn't adapted as smoothly as expected. Concerns also loom over Rajat Patidar's form. As a crucial part of the middle order, he needs to be a flexible player, a role that hasn't yielded results yet. Maxwell has faced challenges adjusting to slower pitches. RCB's overseas player combination is under scrutiny, especially with Alzarri Joseph's expensive spells. There might be changes, with Lockie Ferguson or Reece Topley in contention, alongside Akash Deep. LSG's attention is focused on KL Rahul's fitness, with hopes that he can at least play as a batter after going through fitness drills.
