Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Match 50 of the Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026) on Thursday, May 7, at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. RCB are coming into the fixture after suffering a four-wicket loss in their previous game against Gujarat Titans (GT).
They’re comfortably placed second on the IPL 2026 points table with six wins from nine games, having 12 points. On the other hand, Lucknow have had a season to forget, having lost their last six matches on the trot. The Rishabh Pant-led side is languishing at the last spot on the points table with just four points.
They will be desperate to get out of their losing rut, while RCB has a great chance to climb to the top with a commanding win in the upcoming fixture.

Players to watch out for in LSG vs RCB
Virat Kohli
The star batter is the leading run scorer for RCB with 379 runs from nine innings. Kohli’s bat has been quiet for the last two fixtures, and he will be eager to roar again against LSG as RCB eye the top spot on the points table.
Prince Yadav
The 24-year-old has been one of the few positives for LSG in an otherwise forgettable season. Yadav is LSG’s leading wicket-taker with 13 scalps from nine innings at an average of 20.46 and an economy of 8.06. He will again hold the key for his team as they come up against the unforgiving batting lineup of RCB.
