Desk. Royal Challengers Bangalore has suffered a huge blow. Now IPL matches are becoming important. Neither any team has confirmed its place in the playoffs so far nor any team has been eliminated. Now the picture of the points table will change with each match. Meanwhile, RCB’s star batsman Phil Salt is out due to injury. Now the news is that he has returned to his home i.e. UK. He was out of the last three matches.
RCB team was playing against Delhi Capitals on 18 April. During this, Phil Salt got his finger injured while diving to save the boundary in the sixth over. Earlier it did not seem that the injury would become so serious. But later it was found that the injury was quite serious. After this, Phil Salt missed three back to back matches for RCB. Meanwhile, a report by ESPLcricinfo has revealed that Phil Salt has gone back to England. In the absence of Phil Salt, Jacob Baithle was opening the innings with Virat Kohli. Now it seems that Jacob Baithal will open in the coming few more matches.
Phil Salt has scored 202 runs in six matches for his team this season. In this his strike rate was 168.33. However, he is not out of the entire season yet. If ACB’s team goes further in the tournament and Phil Salt recovers, they can come back and play again. If we talk about Jacob Batal, he has scored only 39 runs in three matches, which is a matter of tension for the team.
Till now, RCB has not announced any replacement for Phil Salt, because Salt is not out yet, replacement will be available only when he is out. It remains to be seen how the team performs in the upcoming matches. Now the team will play its match against LSG on Thursday. The team is currently in the top 4 and is staking its claim for the playoffs.
