Cricket Analysis

KL Rahul-led LSG has been marvellous throughout the tournament. The captain himself has played outstanding captaincy innings in the last match of 103 in just 60 balls and led the team to the 4^th victory against Mumbai Indians. Other than the last match, KL Rahul has performed very well throughout the tournament with the bat.

Other than him Quinton De Kock has lifted the burden of the team with some outstanding starts. Both these openers give the team a launching pad for the next batters to come and strike the opponents. The batting line of the team is strong enough to deal with 200 easily. And it has proved in 2 matches till yet while chasing 210 against CSK and giving a target of 199 to Mumbai Indians. With Manesh Pandey, Marcus Stonnis, Baddoni, and Lewis the batting line can do wonders.

All the bowlers have performed well so far so no one can be distinguished separately but Avesh Khan, who is in his best form. He took 3 wickets in the last match. Other than the last match, he took 11 wickets in the last 6 matches with an economy of 8.3.

RCB emerged as a non-predictable team as far as batting is concerned. But somehow they managed to win. They have a batting line including Faf Du Plessis, kohl, Rawat, Glen Maxwell even Danish Karthik played at no 7 and scored 44 and 66 in different matches. And interestingly if the top order fails, middle-order performs, if they fail low order performs. This team has managed itself so well that they all are next to each other as far as performance is concerned.

Faf Du Plessis being captain could not perform as it was expected from him, same for the Virat Kohli except in one odd match in which he performed well. Danesh Karthik, Shahbaz Ahmad and Maxwell can be dangerous in this match for the opponent.

The bowling of Hershel Patel may be worth watching. Except, in the last match in which he was very costly for the team, he remained brilliant in previous matches. In addition to him, Silva may prove to be a helping hand for the team.
