Virat Kohli.

After registering six consecutive 40-plus scores, Virat Kohli scored a 12-ball 12 in Qualifier 1 and didn’t look anywhere near his fluent best. However, the star batter is known for playing an important knock on the biggest of occasions. If he gets going, PBKS bowlers will be in a tough position. Kohli is currently the fifth-highest run-getter in IPL 2025, having amassed 614 runs from 14 matches at an average of 55.81 and a strike rate of 146.53.

Probable Best Bowler of the Match: Kyle Jamieson

Probable Best Bowler of the Match: Kyle Jamieson
Kyle Jamieson.

Tall New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson can prove to be extremely dangerous with the ball against RCB. Came in as a replacement for his injured countryman Lockie Ferguson earlier in the season,  Jamieson has picked up two wickets in the three matches played so far. In Qualifier 2 against the Mumbai Indians, he bowled a spell of 1/30 in his four overs, removing Tilak Varma. With the Ahmedabad pitch expected to have significant bounce, the Kiwi bowler will look to make the most of it and pick important wickets for his side.

Toss & Strategy
Winning the toss could prove decisive. Batting first might allow teams to set a competitive total before dew complicates bowling. RCB’s historical edge in finals (winning 60% of matches after finishing second) favors them

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has been in stunning form yet again this season. He has amassed 602 runs from 13 innings at an average of 60.20 and a strike rate of 147.92. What has been refreshing to see this season has been Kohli’s willingness to go after the bowlers from the outset. He has smashed eight half-centuries so far.

Probable Best Bowler of the Match: Josh Hazlewood

Josh Hazlewood.

Jitesh Sharma said ahead of RCB’s last game that Josh Hazlewood will be ready in time for the playoffs. The right-arm pacer’s absence has been felt as RCB have conceded 211, 231, and 227 runs in three games without him. Hazlewood has bagged 18 wickets from 10 games this season at an average of 17.28. He is still among the leading wicket-takers this season. However, it will be interesting to see if he continues in the same rhythm after the brief injury layoff.

The pair dominated the RCB bowling unit, setting the stage for a massive total. In reply, RCB’s chase was anchored by Virat Kohli, who scored 54 off 30 balls.

LSG vs RCB Turning Point:

Jitesh Sharma-Mayank Agarwal Partnership

The match began to swing decisively in RCB’s favour when Jitesh Sharma and Mayank Agarwal came together at 123/4, with the required run rate rising sharply. Although the pressure was mounting, both batters responded with a composed yet aggressive counterattack. Jitesh Sharma, stepping up as captain in Rajat Patidar’s absence, led by example with a fearless innings. His half-century came off just 22 balls, showcasing his unwavering intent even in a high-stakes chase. Then, a crucial moment arrived when Sharma, on 49, was dismissed but was called back due to a back-foot no-ball. This incident not only saved his wicket but also shifted the momentum firmly in RCB’s favour. Therefore, the team gained a renewed sense of belief at a tense stage.

Furthermore, Mayank Agarwal played a vital role by supporting Sharma with clean strokes and smart strike rotation. As a result, they prevented any buildup of pressure from the LSG bowlers. Consequently, the duo took full advantage in the death overs, attacking with precision and finding boundaries effortlessly. In addition, their partnership ensured that RCB remained comfortably ahead of the required rate throughout. Thus, Sharma and Agarwal’s brilliant stand dismantled LSG’s bowling attack and sealed a dominant turnaround for RCB. Hence, their calmness under pressure proved to be the difference.

LSG vs RCB Match Preview

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the latter’s backyard in the 70th and last league match of IPL 2025. The match is very important for RCB in the context of their scenarios for the Playoffs, as a win would mean them potentially topping the table to register a spot in Qualifier 1, something they have failed to do since 2016.

LSG will play with no pressure, as they have already been eliminated from the tournament. In their previous match, LSG spoiled the party of the Gujarat Titans and became the first team to beat the 2022 champions twice in the league stage of the same season. The Lucknow-based franchise could well spoil RCB’s party too and finish the IPL 2025 on a high.

RCB will be strengthened with the return of Josh Hazlewood. Their aim is to finish in the top two and qualify for Qualifier 1. LSG has momentum on their side following a great win against the Titans. Mitchell Marsh scored his first hundred in IPL history and was well supported by Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram, and the bowling lineup.

Both teams have some of the best players in the world in their line-ups. While RCB has the likes of Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Tim David, Josh Hazlewood, and others, LSG has Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant, Aiden Markram, Will O’Rourke, and others. It could be mouth-watering at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday evening, as the race for the Playoffs is nearing its end.

Pitch Report

In IPL 2025, the Ekana surface has generally been a good one to bat on. Compared to the 2023 and 2024 seasons, the pitch in Lucknow has improved for batting, with several teams scoring over 200 runs. One could witness a similar pattern in the last league-stage match of the season.

The stadium has fairly longer boundaries for Indian standards, and the pitch has a bit of a grip for the spinners. It is usually good to bat early in the innings, with not a lot of swing and seam on offer for the pacers. The key would be to make the best use of Powerplay overs and rotate strike well in the middle overs. Toss might not be a huge factor due to the lack of dew.

LSG vs RCB Weather Report of Lucknow:

There is no chance of rain during the game in Lucknow on Tuesday. The maximum temperature is predicted to be 36°C while the minimum temperature would be 29°C.

IPL stats & records – Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow

The Ekana Stadium tends to favour the batters, as evident from the high-scoring encounters witnessed here. In the previous match between RCB and SRH, SRH posted a massive total of 231 runs in their 20 overs. The pitch offers little margin for error for the bowlers, making it a paradise for batters. Over the last two years, the average first-innings score at Lucknow has been over 180 runs, underlining its batting-friendly nature.

IPL Match 59 (LSG vs RCB): Toss Predictions 

It is now time to look at the LSG vs RCB toss predictions. Astrologically, the toss for this match seems to be in favour of LSG. The captain of LSG, Pant, has a little support from the divine. His chart recently sees a shift of the Sun into his 7th house. 

The transit of the Sun in Aries favours this placement, bringing him benefits in his profession. Additionally, this period will be dedicated to earning rewards for the previous hard work. Thus, winning the toss will be a reward from the universe to Pant for his previous efforts and hard work. 

LSG vs RCB Win Prediction

 

Considering the current form of both teams, RCB have higher chances to win the contest, whether they will bowl first or bat. RCB’s batters have shown great intent this season while their bowlers have been performing consistently. On the other hand, LSG have failed in both departments. Also out of the five matches played in Lucknow this season, the home side has managed to win only two. On the flip side, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been dominant away from home. That gives the visitors an edge in this contest.

Romario Shepherd’s Career Breakdown

Early Career & Rise to Prominence

Romario Shepherd’s cricketing journey began in 2016 with his List A debut for Guyana Jaguars against Leeward Islands at Basseterre 5. Despite initially being seen as a raw fast bowler , his aggressive lower-order batting quickly became his standout trait. By March 2017 , he made his first-class debut in the West Indies’ regional four-day competition 4, showcasing his dual-threat potential. His T20 debut came in the CPL 2018 for Guyana Amazon Warriors 4, where he blended seam bowling with explosive finishing, setting the stage for his transformation into a T20 specialist 9.


Domestic Cricket: Foundation of Versatility

Shepherd’s domestic career laid the groundwork for his global success:

  • List A & First-Class : While his early years (2016–2017) focused on refining his bowling, his ability to smash quick runs in the lower order became evident. His 2021 CPL season was a breakthrough, where he scored 109 runs at a strike rate of 165 and took 18 wickets at an economy of 7.69, proving his all-round value .
  • CPL Dominance : By 2021, Shepherd had become a finisher for Guyana Amazon Warriors, excelling in high-pressure chases. His aggressive strokeplay (e.g., 44* off 28 balls vs. England in 2022 and disciplined seam bowling made him a domestic star .

International Career: Breaking Through

Shepherd’s international career began in late 2019 with an ODI debut, followed by a T20I debut in January 2020 [[user text]]. However, his breakthrough came in January 2022 with a blistering 44 off 28 balls * against England, cementing his role as a finisher in West Indies’ limited-overs setup [[user text]]. While his bowling remained economical (7.8 RPO in T20Is), his batting strike rate of 150+ in 2023 highlighted his evolution into a power-hitter .

Suyash Sharma: The Emerging Leg-Spinner Defying Odds

Early Career: From Setback to Resilience


Born in Delhi , Suyash Sharma’s journey began with relentless determination despite a major early hurdle—being snubbed at India’s U-19 trials in 2022 2. This disappointment fueled his hunger to prove himself, sharpening his craft as a leg-spinner. His ability to bowl sharp turn and trap batsmen leg-before or in front of the stumps caught attention in local circuits, paving his path to professional cricket.

Domestic Cricket: Breaking Through the Ranks


After a stellar IPL debut, Suyash earned his domestic bow for Delhi in 2023 , representing his state in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Madhya Pradesh 8. Though still building his reputation in first-class cricket, his early displays highlighted promise. His knack for breaking partnerships and maintaining composure under pressure marked him as a talent to watch beyond franchise leagues.

International Ambitions: Awaiting the National Call-Up


As of 2025, Suyash remains outside India’s senior squad, but his consistent IPL performances keep him in contention for future white-ball roles. With India seeking spin options for T20Is, his leg-spin variations and death-over control could make him a dark horse for selection, provided he sustains form and adapts to international pressures.

IPL Journey: From Sensational Debut to New Challenges


Suyash burst onto the scene in 2023 with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) , claiming three wickets on debut against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), including prized scalps of Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, and Karn Sharma 134567. His figures of 3/30 helped KKR secure an 81-run win , earning praise from coach Chandrakant Pandit 45. That season, he took 10 wickets , showcasing maturity beyond his years by outfoxing top-order batters 9.

However, the 2024 season saw a dip , with limited game time and minimal impact. Ahead of IPL 2025 , RCB acquired him for INR 2.6 crore , betting on his potential to thrive at their small Chinnaswamy Stadium [[original text]]. While the venue poses a challenge for spinners, his ability to mix googlies, flippers, and quick leg-breaks could turn matches if harnessed effectively.

Legacy: Building a Foundation for Greatness


At just 21 years old (as of 2025) , Suyash’s career embodies grit and reinvention. Overcoming rejection early on, he has shown resilience to bounce back and evolve his game. If he refines consistency—especially against aggressive hitters—and improves fitness, he could emerge as a cornerstone of India’s spin attack in the 2030s. His story serves as inspiration: a reminder that perseverance and skill can transform setbacks into stepping stones.

Yash Dayal: From Promising Talent to Resilient Competitor

Early Career: A Glimpse of Potential

Born with raw pace and a left-arm angle, Yash Dayal’s talent was first recognized during his formative years in Uttar Pradesh’s cricketing circles. His consistency in domestic tournaments earned him a spot in the Gujarat Titans’ squad ahead of IPL 2022 , marking his entry into professional cricket . Picked for a hefty ₹3.2 crore at the mega-auction, expectations were sky-high for the untested pacer .

Domestic Cricket: Building the Foundation

Representing Uttar Pradesh in domestic circuits, Dayal showcased glimpses of his potential with disciplined line and length, though major accolades eluded him. His performances in the Ranji Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy highlighted his ability to generate movement and pressure, laying the groundwork for his IPL opportunity . Despite inconsistent state-level success, his raw pace and left-arm advantage kept him on selectors’ radar.

International Ambitions: Chasing the National Dream
As of 2025, Dayal has yet to make his international debut, but his IPL performances have kept him in contention for Team India selection. With India’s constant search for left-arm pacers who can handle death overs, Dayal’s skill set—combining swing, yorkers, and composure—positions him as a hopeful contender for future white-ball squads. However, consistency across formats and improved fitness remain key areas to prove himself at the highest level.

IPL Journey: Highs, Lows, and Redemption

Dayal’s IPL debut on April 13, 2022 , against Rajasthan Royals was promising, claiming 11 wickets in nine matches during his maiden season . However, his 2023 campaign was marred by a harrowing encounter against Rinku Singh , who smashed him for five consecutive sixes in a last-over thriller, costing Gujarat the match . This setback led to his release, but Royal Challengers Bengaluru retained faith, acquiring him ahead of the 2024 season. There, he bounced back strongly, scalping 15 wickets and delivering memorable moments like dismissing MS Dhoni —a scalp that indirectly halted CSK’s playoff hopes .

team

Legacy: A Work in Progress

At just 23 years old , Dayal’s career embodies resilience. While inconsistency and fitness remain challenges, his ability to adapt—like refining yorkers and slower deliveries—signals growth . Though yet to cement himself as a frontline bowler, his left-arm angle and composure under pressure offer hope. With time on his side, Dayal’s journey—from a high-priced gamble to a determined competitor—reflects the fine balance between potential and perseverance in modern cricket.

Jitesh Sharma: The Fearless Finisher Who Defied Odds

Early Career


A mischievous boy with a penchant for outdoor sports, Jitesh Sharma discovered his passion for cricket during his school days in Nagpur. His aversion to academics became the catalyst for his cricketing journey, and it turned out to be the perfect decision. Jitesh’s breakthrough came during the 2012-13 Cooch Behar Trophy , where he amassed 537 runs in 12 innings , including two centuries and a fifty. This stellar performance earned him a spot in the Vidarbha senior team for the 2013-14 season , marking the beginning of his professional career.

Domestic Dominance


Jitesh’s domestic career has been a tale of perseverance and reinvention. Initially batting in the top order, he gradually carved a niche as a lower-order finisher , using his explosive batting and sharp wicketkeeping skills to stand out. His defining moment came in the 2021-22 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy , where he smashed 19 sixes , the most in the tournament, and established himself as one of India’s most destructive finishers.

In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2015-16 , Jitesh had already showcased his potential by finishing as the third-highest run-getter , scoring 343 runs at a strike rate of 143.51 , including a century and two fifties. Despite an ordinary Ranji Trophy debut in 2015-16, where he scored 180 runs in seven matches, Jitesh remained undeterred, focusing on limited-overs formats to refine his aggressive approach.

  • Mumbai Indians (2016-2017): Jitesh was first bought by Mumbai Indians in the 2016 IPL auction , but despite being retained in 2017, he failed to make it to the playing XI.
  • Punjab Kings (2022-2024): A resurgence in the 2022 IPL auction saw Punjab Kings take a chance on Jitesh, and he repaid their faith with a breakout season. In IPL 2022 , he scored 234 runs at a strike rate of 163.64 , showcasing his ability to clear the ropes and play innovative ramps and scoops. He followed this up with an even better 2023 season , racking up 309 runs at a strike rate of 156.06 , cementing his reputation as a reliable finisher.
  • Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) (2025): Jitesh’s consistent performances earned him a massive bid from RCB ahead of the 2025 season , where he continues to be a key player in the middle and lower order.

International Stint: A Glimpse of Glory


Jitesh’s explosive performances in the 2021-22 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and IPL 2022 earned him a maiden India call-up in 2023 , replacing an injured Sanju Samson during the Sri Lanka series. While his international appearances have been limited due to stiff competition from the likes of Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson , Jitesh remains a strong contender for future opportunities.

Style & Strengths


Jitesh is a dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman known for his fearless strokeplay and ability to accelerate in the death overs. His wide array of ramps, scoops, and towering sixes makes him a nightmare for bowlers in the final overs. Behind the stumps, Jitesh’s sharp reflexes and safe hands add immense value to any team.

Legacy in the Making


From being labeled as just a lower-order hitter to becoming one of India’s most explosive finishers, Jitesh Sharma’s journey is a testament to hard work and adaptability. Despite challenges and setbacks, he has consistently reinvented himself, proving that talent combined with resilience can overcome any obstacle. As he continues to evolve, Jitesh Sharma is poised to leave an indelible mark on Indian cricket.
