Josh Hazlewood has been discarded from the great shock of RCB vs Csk with Rajat Patidar not giving real reasons for exclusion. Lungi Ngidi replaces it in the RCB playing XI.
Josh Hazlewood has been one of the prominent artists of Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2025. With 18 WICKETS in 10 games, he is the second highest in Wickt this season and has played a key role in the resurgence of RCB. However, ahead of the long -awaited clash against Chennai Super Kings at the M Chinnaswamy stadium, RCB has not yet confirmed if Henlewood lacks the game due to a concern.
Josh Hazlewood and Lungi Ngidi in
Hazlewood could be dealing with a slight filling and RCB could have decided to rest it as a precautionary measure with the playoffs that are coming. The Australian pacemaker has been the most reliable RCB player, especially death. His absence will be a great blow to the local team, particularly against a strong CSK batting alignment that thrives with impulse in the power and death game.
In the absence of Hazlewood, the South African sailor Lungi Ngidi has been included in the XI game. Ngidi has not yet played a game in IPL 2025 and this will be his first appearance of the season against his former team, CSK. Its inclusion adds depth to the rhythm attack, but it lacks the consistency and control that Harlewood has provided this season.
Hazlewood is expected to return before the end of the League phase. With RCB in dispute for a place in the playoffs, your physical condition will be crucial for your campaign.
