Two top Indian batters line up against each other as IPL newcomers Lucknow Super Giants pit their might against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the DY Patil Stadium here on Tuesday.

Super Giants captain KL Rahul will be riding on the confidence generated by a brilliant, match-winning 60-ball 103 against five-time champions Mumbai Indians on Saturday, which boosted the team to the second spot on the points table. On the other hand, Virat Kohli, till last season the monarch of all he surveyed in Indian cricket, seeks to rediscover his golden touch with the bat after a modest run of scores for his team RCB which he led till the end of its 2021 campaign.
