Royal Challengers Bangalore endured a tough loss against KKR on Friday. The team was too terrible in the bowling department and that did not allow them to offer a fight. With the bat, as well, not all fired for the side. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two changes RCB could make for their next game against LSG.
1) Lockie Ferguson for Alzarri Joseph
It appears that the big investment made in Alzarri Joseph is not paying off for the management. The West Indian was supposed to make an impact at the Chinnaswamy Stadium with his height, pace and back-of-length deliveries. However, he has been very inconsistent and is leaking a lot of runs.
Lockie Ferguson is available in the team as an experienced backup. He has also been doing well for New Zealand in recent months. With him coming in, he would be a more reliable option. The Kiwi has also got some variations up his sleeve, which would further help the team going forward.
2) Mahipal Lomror for Rajat Patidar
Mahipal Lomror for Rajat Patidar is one of the changes RCB could make for their next game against LSG. It is too early to comment but it seems that Rajat Patidar is lacking the confidence to get that impactful score. Against KKR, too, he did not stay long at the crease. His timing was also not on point. The same was the case in the previous games, as well.
While RCB could and should back him, there is a chance that they could have a look at Mahipal Lomror. Against Punjab Kings, he came up with a good cameo. In the last season, as well, he got some good scores under his belt. Plus, he is someone who can also bowl some spin. Hence, this change could happen.
