Aakash Chopra feels the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) should play the Royal Challengers (RCB) on a black-soil surface to neutralize the biggest threats in their batting department.<\/p>\n
The two sides will lock horns at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Monday, May 1. While a win for LSG will help them climb atop the IPL 2023 points table, a positive result for RCB will make the playoff qualification race even more interesting.<\/p>\n
While previewing the game in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra opined that LSG should stifle Virat Kohli<\/a>, Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis by preparing a spin-friendly track, reasoning:<\/p>\n “Black or red soil will decide how the match goes. I feel Lucknow should give a black-soil pitch because KGF (Kohli, Glenn and Faf) will not like that pitch and the rest of the batting does not have depth, which we have discussed so many times.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
