As for the Royal Challengers, the Rajat Patidar-led side have made no changes to the side that suffered a six-wicket loss to the Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. However, Rajat Patidar and co. are placed comfortably in the points table, capturing third spot with six wins and three losses. By contrast, the Super Giants are languishing at the bottom of the table with seven losses in nine fixtures. Even a victory on Thursday against the reigning champions may not be enough for the Super Giants to stay in the reckoning for a playoffs spot.
It’s worth noting that Lucknow haven’t beaten Bengaluru since the 2023 edition when the fixture held at the Chinnaswamy Stadium and LSG successfully chased down 213 in a thrilling game. The toss at Ekana Stadium went Patidar’s way and he opted to bowl first.
