Game 23 of IPL Season 19 between the defending champions Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is currently being played. There was a huge blow to Lucknow in the game at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The skipper of the side, Rishabh Pant, sustained an injury while batting.
He was hit on his elbow by a quick-fire ball bowled by Josh Hazlewood and he screamed in agony. The physio rushed on the ground to attend upon Pant who was in such pain that tears rolled down his eyes. Earlier, Rasikh Salam Dar gave Lucknow a start. His effort saw the dismissal of Aiden Markram for 12 runs off Padikkal. He managed just 12 runs. Josh Hazlewood then dealt Lucknow the second blow. He bowled Nicholas Pooran, who managed just one run. Now, Ayush Badoni has come in to join Mitchell Marsh.
RCB captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and decided to bowl first. Patidar said the pitch looked good, with no grass on it. He said they would take advantage of this and put pressure on the opposition. He added that there was one change in the team: Jacob Duffy would replace Josh Hazlewood.
