Who can be the Impact Players for RCB vs PBKS?
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB):
Swapnil Singh, the left-arm spinner, had a strong season the previous year. Lower in the order, he can also be useful with the bat. During the previous season, Swapnil took six wickets in seven games.
Suyash Sharma is a flexible eg-spinner who could be used if the situation calls for it. When he played for the Kolkata Knight Riders in past editions, Suyash performed at Eden Gardens.
Mohit Rathee is a promising domestic all-round player who bowls leg-spin and bats in the middle order. In his last two domestic T20 games, Mohit has amassed 54 runs and claimed one wicket.
Punjab Kings (PBKS):
Should PBKS lose early wickets in the first innings, Nehal Wadhera can be utilised as an impact replacement.
If an additional overseas batting option is required, Aaron Hardie, who played effectively for the Perth Scorchers in the BBL, can be brought in during the second innings. He will have a powerful impact substitute and is currently in excellent form.
An aggressive batter who excelled for Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy was Suryansh Shedge. If the conditions are favourable for batting, he can be deployed in the second innings.
