Earlier today, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) announced that Kedar Jadhav will be joining the team for the remainder of IPL 2023 as a replacement for David Willey. The franchise did not disclose any details regarding Willey's departure from the tournament in their press release.
However, during RCB's previous match against the Kolkata Knight Riders, Willey sustained a toe injury after being hit by an Andre Russell yorker while batting towards the end of the innings.
The high temperature and humidity could make it tough for players in Lucknow. The black soil pitches at Ekana Stadium favour pacers and spinners are expected to shine during the middle overs.
