IPL 2026: RCB vs LSG, Match 23 - Top player battles to watch out for
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in match No. 23 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday, April 15.
1. Phil Salt vs Mohammed Shami
Phil Salt has been in red-hot form at the top, taking the attack to bowlers right from the powerplay. His aggressive intent makes him a dangerous proposition on the Chinnaswamy surface. However, he will be up against the experienced Mohammed Shami, who is known for his ability to strike early with the new ball.
Shami’s accuracy and seam movement could test Salt’s attacking approach, making this an exciting contest in the opening overs. In the three innings so far against Shami, the English opener holds an upper hand, scoring 27 runs in just 14 balls. The Indian pacer has dismissed Salt once, but his high economy against him remains a concern.
