RCB travel to Ekana Cricket Stadium to face a LSG side sitting 10th with just two wins all season. Kohli in form against a depleted attack on a ground that offers pace early is a strong batting proposition. LSG have struggled to contain top-order batters when their own pace options are under pressure, and RCB will look to set the tone through their best player from ball one. The Test retirement conversation will fade the moment Kohli takes guard and gets into his rhythm. Second-placed RCB have the confidence of a side playing with structure and Kohli is the reason their campaign looks this composed.
