Looking to win the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are missing the services of several important members.
At the time of the toss, LSG captain Rishabh Pant mentioned that Josh Inglis and Mohsin Khan are not in the playing combination to take on RCB. This is a big blow for the team, because both these players are considered an important part of LSG. Pant told that both of them are out due to injury.
Why are Josh Inglis and Mohsin Khan not playing today’s match against RCB?
Another fast bowler of the team, Avesh Khan has also not been selected in the playing eleven for tonight’s match. In their place, LSG has included Digvesh Rathi, Arshin Kulkarni and Shahbaz Ahmed in the team.
“A few changes in our team. A few injuries – Inglis and Mohsin Khan missed out. The only thing is to go ahead with clarity. We know we are a top team, but the main thing is clarity. We have a few changes in the batting order. A stable environment is needed, but we need to make changes from time to time. It feels like 180-190 wickets are a better wicket than most other games,” the LSG captain told the toss.
LSG will miss Josh Inglis’ firepower
Rishabh Pant mentioned the batting combination. He might have considered some changes in the batting order against Royal Challengers Bangalore. It will be interesting to see the change. In the current season, the franchise has done a lot of experiments regarding batting order and playing combinations.
In his last match, Nicholas Pooran batted brilliantly and Mitchell Marsh was also good. As told by the captain, Josh Inglis is injured and will not take the field. The team may miss his service, as the batsman is flexible and can contribute from both the top order and middle order.
In the last match, which was against Mumbai Indians. For the match against Mumbai Indians, LSG started their innings with Marsh and Inglis. Josh Inglis played a short but effective innings in the power play to get the team off to a great start.
Mohsin Khan was in good form in IPL 2026
Mohsin Khan is another important member of the team who is continuously playing for the team. In the current season, the fast bowler has taken 10 wickets in 5 matches at an economy rate of 7.45.
Amidst the many injuries, the positive for Lucknow Super Giants is that Digvesh Rathi has returned to the playing eleven to face Royal Challengers Bangalore. Mohsin Khan’s absence will create problems for LSG as he has been their best bowler.
