Former Australian dough and coach Tom Moody believes that Royal Challengers Bengalur will face a valid dilemma in choosing XI playing for a decisive qualification clash 1 against the Pandjab Kings on May 29 – especially in the combination of overseas pace between Josh Hazlewood and Nuwan Soara. After the impressive magic of Nara against Lucknow Super Giants, Moody believes it will be difficult for RCB to ignore Sri Lanka Pacer, and on Thursday they could even consider the field of Sora and Hazlewood.
How IPL 2025 starts its Play -off phase with RCB takeover PBKS in qualifying 1—Ave offers a direct ticket to the final in Ahmedabad – there are considerable speculation around the possible XI, especially after the return of Hazlewood from the injury. The Australian Pacer was the highest RCB goal this season with 18 scalp, but missed the last three matches because of the shoulder problem. Its return for this crunch accessory It caused the excitement between Fanbase.
When he spoke to Espncricinfo, Moody explained that RCB would be difficult to overlook the potential of the Saary against the impressive PBKS bats. He even suggested that the team could build Hazlewood and Soraa, perhaps at the expense of Romario Shepherd. Moody pointed out that the ability of Isary to provide diversity and pressure in the pace of the department makes it valuable integration – especially after its magic 1/26 High -pressure match against LSG, Where most of the pitching went to runs.
“There will certainly be a discussion – there is no doubt about it. The friction was brilliant in the last game and of course we know what Hazlewood brings to the table and what its record means.
So you can almost guarantee that it comes to the side, ”Moody said.
“The question is whether they will decide for both overseas players and maybe they will look at someone like Romario Shepherd, who is sitting. This could allow them to play another Indian dough-not necessarily the highest order-perhaps having someone like Suyash (Kumar),” he added.
Hazlewood’s absence saw that Lungi Ngidi would enter two matches against Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad before Ngidi left to join the test team in South Africa for the World Championship in the World Championship since June 11th. Qualifier 1.
The integration of Sorary could also alleviate Hazlewood’s burden-the RCB Go-to Man was before the injury was released. Moody’s proposal on the Bench Romario Shepherd for this combination, however, is bold, given the impact of Shepherd with a bat at the big RCB goals this season.
Another layer of complexity lies in the availability of Tim David. The Australian versatile player missed the last game because of the existing Niggle and his status for qualifying 1 remains uncertain. If David is excluded, Shepherd’s presence becomes even more critical as a finisher of power affecting, so Moody’s proposed selection puzzle even more complicated for RCB Think Tank.
