Stuart Broad gets all fired up about the highly anticipated RCB-LSG match, saying, “I’m really excited about the battle between Virat Kohli versus Mayank Yadav.”

Legendary England pacer Stuart Broad urged the Royal Challengers’ in-form Virat Kohli, skipper Faf du Plessis, and boisterous Glenn Maxwell to perform well at bat. Nonetheless, Broad said that the bowling of the RCB was “naive” and recommended the addition of a seasoned foreign pacer such as Lockie Ferguson or Reece Topley.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will captivate cricket fans when archrivals Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) face off at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Tuesday, April 2.

Gautam Gambhir served as LSG’s mentor the previous year. After Lucknow pulled off an exciting victory off the final ball, he silenced the RCB supporters at the Chinnaswamy. It’s highly likely that fans of cricket will witness another extraordinary match on Tuesday.

“I believe you can almost bank on Virat Kohli, Faf, and Maxwell to get you up to a good score when he is playing that well, but their bowling lineup has just appeared a little naive and hasn’t produced the strategies that I’m sure the coaches would have wanted them to.”

Thus, bring some real pace, some experience with Lockie Ferguson, and perhaps some different-angle swinging ability from Reece Topley. “Stuart Broad stated this in an exclusive interview with Star Sports on Cricket Live.

In Lucknow’s most recent game against the Punjab Kings, 21-year-old Mayank Yadav made an impression in his IPL debut. To disconcert the Punjab batting lineup, the right-arm bowler took three wickets in the middle overs while bowling at unbelievable speeds.

With match-winning statistics of 3/27 in his four overs, he ultimately emerged victorious and was named Player of the Match. In an interview, Broad expressed his excitement about watching the young player take on the great Kohli and the other RCB hitters on one of the greatest batting surfaces in the world.

“So, certainly, they have that possibility, but I’m really looking forward to Mayank Yadav vs. Virat Kohli. With a speed of 156 km/h and three wickets, this IPL debut is among the best you’ll ever witness. It challenges elite hitters and outpaces them with remarkable control over the line that goes over the middle and leg stumps.

Naturally, a 21-year-old bowler will find it difficult to go to one of the best batting grounds in the world, Chinnaswamy Stadium, but that is where all of your learning takes place—at the highest level, in these kinds of settings and atmospheres. Given what transpired a few days earlier, he will therefore be bursting with enthusiasm and energy. I thus hope he scores some more runs and takes some wickets.
