Today the match is going to be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans. RCB must win this match to secure their place in the playoffs. Before this match, RCB got a big blow in the form of fast bowler Josh Hazlewood. RCB team director Mike Hesson informed about Hazlewood’s exclusion during the press conference.

Mike Hesson said in the press conference before the match against Gujarat Titans, ‘Hazlewood is going to return home. There is no possibility that he will play the match against Gujarat. Unfortunately he is injured again. Hazlewood played 3 matches in this season of IPL and could get only 3 wickets. RCB have suffered two major setbacks in the form of David Willey and Reece Topley at the start of this season. Now Hazlewood’s name has also been included in it. Significantly, Josh Hazlewood could not play in the first half of this season due to injury. He played his first match on 1 May against Lucknow Super Giants. Now he will not be seen playing this season after being injured again. Even if RCB reaches the playoffs. Hazlewood had suffered a leg injury earlier this year. After this, he could not play both Test and ODI series on the tour of India.
