Key Players to Watch
RCB Picks

- BOW Mohammed Siraj — Pace at Chinnaswamy gets reverse swing and bounce; home advantage also adds to his effectiveness
LSG Picks
- WK KL Rahul — Away from home but class act anywhere; consistent run-scorer who anchors the LSG chase
- BOW Mark Wood — Express pace on this true surface generates awkward lengths even flat-track batsmen struggle with
- AR Marcus Stoinis — Hard-hitting middle-order bat who loves big grounds; Chinnaswamy's shorter boundaries suit his aerial game
