Phil Salt: For RCB, the English opener has put together a total of 239 runs in 9 games at an excellent strike rate of 168.31. Yet, it seems Salt may miss the Playoffs because his fiancée is due to deliver their child and he may need to be with her. The recent match left Messi with cramps even after he was healthy from his previous fever. Should he be unavailable, the team would struggle to find someone to replace him in the top order.
Tim David, the Australian all-rounder, was injured while playing against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Though he stayed in the game, batting through pain, he is taking prescribed medicine at present. Apparently, he won’t be able to play against Lucknow Super Giants in the final league match, but he should be fine by the playoffs, so minor relief for his team’s management.
Rajat Patidar has had a hampered preparation coming back from a hand injury and did not bat until the last match. It is not yet clear whether he is fully ready for the Playoffs.
RCB have been dealt losses with Jacob Bethell and Lungi Ngidi unavailable for the season and Devdutt Padikkal is missing, having been switched for Mayank Agarwal.
