Bangalore almost certain to make it to 2022 Playoffs: Ajay Jadeja

Shreyas: Disappointed with the way LSG are treating Stoinis. He's a proper batter and not someone who you just ask to come in and smash the ball. His role at DC in IPL 2020 was perfect for him to display his strengths, bat at No.5, play the Hetmyer-type role for the team.

Neeraj Sahu: LSG management is asking too much from Holder and Stoinis as batters. Both of them like to get their eye in first for a few balls before going big. Asking them to get big shots away straightaway is a bit of self-sabotage.

Ravi Shankar: Great captaincy from Faf. He has rotated the fifth and sixth bowling option wisely. And obviously great bowling from Shahbaz and Maxi as well. Bowled 5 overs, gave away just 6 runs per over. In the seventh over, got the wicket of Krunal.

Harshal Patel's success in death overs a result of role clarity: Lisa Sthalekar

Shree Harsha Phatak: Badoni has got a perfect platform to show his talent again today

Ashish: RCB has to contain runs and take wickets simultaneously from now! LSG has 3 more clean power hitters on the line, 100 runs in the last 10 overs is not a big task for them!

Akshit: Brilliant Captaincy from Faf here as he completed 5 overs from Shahbaz and Maxi

Gk: If Shahbaz or Maxi gets a wicket, it's a bonus for RCB because they just want them to be economical and fill the 5th bowler quota

To get the best out of Siraj, Bangalore must not bowl him in back 10: Ajay Jadeja

Archit: Its almost as if Maxi is opening, everytime he gets called on so quickly to bat. RCB have some serious thinking to do, DK can't win them every match.

Shashank S J: Anuj Rawat has been throwing the opportunities provided by RCB. He may have to make way for another batsman - Rajat Patidar and Aneeshwar Gautam are waiting for their chance.
