Give Hazlewood as much chance to bowl at de Kock

Josh Hazlewood needs to be given a long run vs Quinton de Kock. His swing can unsettle de Kock, especially the away swing from over the wicket. De Kock is a big wicket and if they see his back early, RCB will create a big impact. (Image source: Twitter)

Use Wanindu Hasaranga at the start vs KL Rahul

KL Rahul has been among the top run-getters in IPL 2022. Once he settles in, he goes big and is a hesitant starter. He has some sort of weakness vs left-arm pace and leg-spin. That is why starting with Hasaranga, the leg-spinner, could be a game-changer move by RCB. (Image source: Twitter)

Start cautiously vs LSG pacers
