The 15th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) is gearing up for a thrilling match as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) square off against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Tuesday. 

Bengaluru have so far played three games in this season, and has managed to register just one win against Punjab Kings. 

On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants are placed sixth position, winning one of the two matches they have played in the IPL 2024.

Prior to the clash between two titans, veteran pacer Stuart Broad supported and backed in-form Indian star batter Virat Kohli, skipper Faf du Plessis and power-hitting buoyant Glenn Maxwell to perform well for the match against the Lucknow bowlers. 

England's pacer also stated that RCB's bowling line-up has not been upto the mark and required some changes and inclusion of an experienced overseas pacer like Lockie Ferguson or Reece Topley.

“I think when Virat Kohli is in that type of form, you can almost bank him, Faf and Maxwell to get you up to a good score, but their bowling line-up has just looked a bit naive and not delivered the tactics that I’m sure the coaches would have wanted them to. So, bring a bit of experience with Lockie Ferguson, genuine pace and maybe Reece Topley with a different angle who can swing the ball as well," Broad cited.

Mayank Yadav, 21-year-old, made his debut in the Indian Premier League for Lucknow Super Giants against Punjab Kings. The young player from Delhi etched his name in the record books after bowling one of the fastest deliveries in IPL. 

Broad also backed the premium LSG seamer to come good against the Royal Challengers, he will look forward to watch Mayank and Kohli's clash. 

“I’m excited about the battle between Virat Kohli versus Mayank Yadav. One of the best IPL debuts you’ll ever see, 156 kmph and three wickets, challenging world-class batters, beating them with pace, and incredible control of the line going over middle and leg stump. Going to the Chinnaswamy Stadium, one of the best batting grounds in the world, of course, is going to be a challenge for any 21-year-old bowler, but that’s where you do all your learning, at the top level, in these sort of environments, and those sort of atmospheres," he added.
