Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are all set to take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Thursday at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, with the side staying firmly focused on the immediate task at hand as the race for the playoffs intensifies. Speaking ahead of the fixture, assistant coach, RCB, Malolan Rangarajan stressed that the groups attention remains solely on the clash against LSG and not on the Points Table. We can all see how the table is panning out, but we cant be distracted by whats happening with other teams. We can only focus on what we want to do, and the task we have on our hands as of now is the game against LSG tomorrow, he said. Malolan reiterated that discussions within the camp have revolved around improving as a unit rather than looking too far ahead. Were always looking as a unit at how we can improve and the trends in the tournament, how we can capitalise on those things. Our focus is now on this next game, he added. On conditions in Lucknow and whether the surface could prompt changes in combination, Malolan said, We dont fiddle too much with our combinations. We have Krunal Pandya, whos been doing very well for us; Suyash Sharma is another option, and then we have four pacers. Were happy with the way our squad is right now, and well try to adapt to what we see tomorrow, he said.
