RCB vs LSG: Full List of Injured and Unavailable Players for Royal Challengers Bengaluru
RCB will miss several players due to injuries and international duty in their crucial IPL 2025 match against LSG.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are one step away from securing a top-two finish in IPL 2025. A win against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their final league match will confirm their place in Qualifier 1.
However, RCB will miss the services of some key players in this all-important game due to injuries and international duties.
With two league games remaining in the tournament, all four playoff teams — RCB, GT, PBKS, and MI — still have a chance to seal a top-two spot.
But for RCB, things might get a bit tricky as they go into their final game with a depleted squad.
Here’s a look at the list of RCB players who will miss the clash against LSG:
Jacob Bethell – International Duty
The young England all-rounder has returned home to join the national team ahead of their white-ball series against West Indies.
Lungi Ngidi – International Duty
The South African pacer has also left the IPL to join his national squad. South Africa are preparing for the World Test Championship Final against Australia.
Tim Seifert – Yet to Join Squad
Seifert was named as a replacement for Bethell but hasn’t joined the RCB squad yet. He recently played in the Pakistan Super League and is expected to be available only from the playoffs.
Rajat Patidar – Doubtful (Injury)
Patidar played with a finger injury against SRH and didn’t look fully fit. His availability for the LSG match remains uncertain.
Tim David – Injured
The Australian power-hitter suffered a hamstring injury in the last game and is likely ruled out for the rest of the season.
With a spot in the top two on the line, RCB will hope their available players step up and deliver in the big game despite the missing names.
