Lucknow Super Giants, captained by KL Rahul, have to face Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL-2023 match on Monday. This match is going to prove to be a cakewalk for Lucknow because the two matches that Lucknow has won so far, they have won at home and the one defeat they have got is outside the house. This time also they have won from home. to play outside. But this time the problem is big in front of him because Virat Kohli is in front.
Virat Kohli is a batsman who can destroy any bowling attack. Bangalore played their first match of the IPL-2023 season at their own home and defeated Mumbai Indians. Virat Kohli's bat was also in this match. He failed against Kolkata Knight Riders in the last match and hence he will be eager to rain in this match.
Lucknow's veteran is failed
But if we look at the figures, then the names in Lucknow's bowling attack at this time have not been able to do anything special in front of Kohli. Lucknow has the most brilliant bowler Mark Wood. Wood is known for his speed. Although he did not play the last match because he was ill. Whether he plays in this match or not, will be known at the time of the toss. But Wood's figures against Kohli are nothing special.
Kohli has played only 19 balls with the new ball in T20 cricket against England's Wood and the Indian batsman has scored 46 runs on them. In such a situation, Rahul would like that Wood should not come in front of Kohli. Although Wood can create trouble with his stormy bowling, but Chinnaswamy's pitch is helpful to the batsmen, in such a situation Wood's speed can prove to be a boon for Kohli.
This is the condition of the rest of the bowlers
On the other hand, if the performance of the rest of the bowlers of Lucknow is seen in front of Kohli, then they too are nothing special. Krunal Pandya bowled 80 balls to Kohli and took 79 runs. He has dismissed Kohli only once. Kohli's performance against Jaydev Unadkat is even better. Unadkat bowled Kohli 46 balls on which 52 runs were looted.
It is not easy for anyone to play Lucknow spinner Ravi Bishnoi. Ravi has so far bowled 23 balls to Kohli and conceded only 23 runs. The record of Lucknow bowlers may not be good against Kohli but Avesh Khan has done well against Kohli so far. He bowled 10 balls to Kohli and gave away only five runs, as well as got him out twice. The situation is not clear on whether Avesh is able to play on Monday or not.
