Ahead of Royal Challengers Bengaluru's final league match against Lucknow Super Giants, spin bowling coach Malolan Rangarajan reflected on their recent defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad, calling it a 'good wake-up call' after a prolonged hiatus. He emphasised that the team’s primary focus remains on executing disciplined bowling and exerting pressure on their opponents.

RCB has a golden opportunity to secure a spot in Qualifier 1 and earn a double chance at the IPL final by defeating LSG in Lucknow on Tuesday. A victory would elevate their tally to 19 points, following nine wins, four losses, and a no-result. Depending on the outcome of the encounter, RCB could finish among the top two teams.
