RCB vs LSG, the new rivalry in IPL but the most explosive of this era Fanatic dialogue, last-ball nail-biters, and wild emotions on the field have been the byproduct of each meeting since LSG made its entry into the tournament in 2022. The RCB vs LSG head to head record suggests this is a contest that keeps swinging until the final delivery, from run chases of 200-plus at the Chinnaswamy to defence of paltry totals at the Ekana.
RCB vs LSG Head to Head Record
RCB has been part of the league since 2008, while LSG has only been present since 2022; nevertheless, the former seems to have already made up for lost time. One looking at the stats may see a slightly better edge for the Bengaluru side, but the margin is so fractionally close that taking anything away from LSG literally and against the odds wouldn’t put LSGs path of least resistance to retake the crown out of sight.

RCB vs LSG Head-to-Head at Home Ground
1) RCB Record at Home (Chinnaswamy Stadium)
RCB are surprisingly notably poor at making their home turf a fortress against the Super Giants. This is a ground better known for high-scoring matches and one that’s high on the lanes, too, as LSG infamously executed a 1-wicket heist here as recently as 2023, underlining their comfort in the lofty, stacked-fences setting.

In this fixture, the former RCB skipper has been the highest run-scorer. He is the leading run-scorer with 238 runs and his penchant for constructing long-drawn innings has often countered LSG’s pace attack.
Rishabh Pant (LSG): The New Threat

Josh Hazlewood (RCB): The Silent Assassin
Hazlewood has become the “ultimate bane” for the LSG top order. With 9 wickets in a handful of outings, including a man-of-the-match 4-wicket haul, his line and length have been impeccable.
Naveen-ul-Haq (LSG): The Big-Game Bowler
This rivalry has often been a tale of drama, with the Afghan pacer being right at the center of it. However, it is not just the speed that he possesses, his expertise at using slower balls and cutters has made him LSG’s highest wicket-taker against RCB with 5 scalps.

Conclusion
RCB vs LSG: A perfect IPL cocktail of big scores and strategic collapses. Be it the star power of the Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant or the tactical masterclass of the bowling units, there is as always no dearth of the ‘holy shit’ moments when the two sides come across each other. With the new season on the horizon, the h2h numbers do show historically a slight advantage in favor of RCB, but Lucknow are only ever one big over away from reversing fortunes, as often seems to be the case in this wild IPL.
