Their batting lineup has strength, depth, and variation, including Pant and Pooran in the middle order. They also have Marsh and Hasaranga, who can contribute with both bat and ball, while Indians bring vigour to the squad. The bowling attack seems strong, especially in the area of bowling faster. Having experienced bowling like Shami, Raw speed of Mayank Yadav, and Avesh Khan’s reliability, it seems like an able attack for any conditions for LSG. This seems to make them capable enough of competing for a place in the play-offs, not to speak of going the distance.
