Amongst one of the best middle-order T20 batters in the World. Pooran has carved out a special name for himself by cracking the middle order role for the Lucknow team where he punishes every bowler bowling at him, he would love the conditions at Chinnaswamy which will support his style of play.
Key Bowlers to Watch for RCB vs LSG:
Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj has been off-colour for a while now, he has not been in control with the new ball and in death he rarely bowls nowadays which is not a good sign for his franchise as well as his national side. A fit and firing Siraj provides high-quality pace bowling with the new ball and contains hitters down in the death overs.
Mayank Yadav
The latest sensation in the IPL, Mayank Yadav’s everything will now be closely observed by the teams. At Chinnaswamy he will be against some of the best players of quick bowling and the ground dimensions too will have a say in the way he bowls, his coming out nicely here will mean he’s someone who’s here to stay.
