Huh ? Why ? Why is Salt not in the Playing XI ?

RCB's Impact player in the second innings will probably be Padikkal and he will open alongside Kohli. There's no Salt tonight and his replacement, Bethell, is likely to slot in the middle order. Padikkal has been good against the new ball this season.

Arunraj : "How was the pitch today? Seems both captains have different view on how pitch will behave.. " Aaron Finch in his pitch report says that it's a dry surface, very little grass covering. He thinks the spinners will be in the game, while batters should look to target fast bowlers, especially with the newer ball.

Wicket plz

Prakash: "Why is Ashutosh Sharma not in DC's bat-first XI? It's baffling!" They already have six bowling options, so I think they will wait to see how their innings is going and have kept the option open to either bring him on to bolster the batting in case of a collapse or go for the extra bowler if the top and middle order get the job done in the first innings.

Aashay: "Really excited to see how Bethell goes. He can make a name for himself in this tournament fairly quickly. Although he's young (and I'm not discounting this in any way), he has the batting capability to take the game on. Also, a gun fielder and a 'handy' 6th/7th bowling option - at least in this side."

Mustafa Moudi : "Much has been talked about RCB's away record this season, but nobody is talking about how well Krunal Pandya has bowled in these Matches. 3/29 at Eden, 4/45 at Wankhede, 1/29 at SMS and 2/25 at Mullanpur - All the 4 times his Bowling Figures were the Best among all RCB bowlers. Hoping for another Great Bowling Innings from Krunal !!" -- Indeed, Krunal has been crucial for them. Even in their first home win, he played a critical role with that spell in the middle.
