Former India player Aakash Chopra has said that RCB might have to be slightly wary of Digvesh Rathi in their IPL
2025 match against the LSG. He added that the LSG spinner should be available for the final league match of the season, considering he has already served his one-match suspension as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, he said, “Lucknow is a giant-slayer team. They have defeated the Gujarat Titans just now. They hit a lot. Their top three are on a mission. They are batting extremely well. They have Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran after them. Even Rishabh Pant hit one or two sixes in the last match. So be wary of them.”

“They, of course, have weaknesses in bowling, but you will have to be slightly wary of Will O’Rourke. Since Digvesh Rathi has served his one-match ban, he might be available for this match and might play. If he plays, you will have to be slightly wary of him. They are their two good bowlers,” he further added.

However, Aakash Chopra also opined on the significance of their IPL 2025 clash against LSG for RCB as well.

“Win the match and qualify at No. 1 or No. 2. You might be wondering why they need to do so. Is it because the top two get an extra chance? Of course, that’s a very good thing that you get two opportunities, but that’s not the only story. If you check your own history, how many times have you won three consecutive games?” he said.

“It happens very rarely that you win three consecutive games. You drop an odd match. The story doesn’t end there either. When you finish at No. 3 or No. 4, all three of your games are against top teams. The best three are against you in three consecutive games,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
