LSG's injury-hit bowling receives backing
Despite a weakened bowling unit, LSG received backing from the former India pacer Varun Aaron. Speaking on ESPNcricinfo, Aaron stated:
"You want to go in with a unit which you can build, but that's not going to happen. But that being said, that's an opportunity for somebody like Shardul Thakur again. Didn't get picked in the auction. Has done well in the IPL previously. He'll have a point to prove. Akash Singh, again, a good left-arm fast bowler."
"Just not been given enough games when he was playing with CSK. He's got an opportunity. And then Shamar Joseph, a really, really good fast bowler. So their fast bowling isn't looking really, really off-colour. I think they can still do the job and revolve around somebody like Ravi Bishnoi."
