Hazlewood picked 18 wickets in 10 games at an average of 17.27 and an economy rate of 8.44, making him the fourth leading wicket-taker in the competition. He last featured for RCB against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on April 27, before a shoulder niggle kept him out of the remaining games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Now for Qualifier 1, Hazlewood has come into RCB\u2019s playing eleven in place of Nuwan Thushara, who picked 1-26 in his four overs on his franchise debut against Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday. \u201cAs a player, this is where you want to be, it's really exciting. Good to have Hazlewood back, hopefully he picks up from where he left off,\u201d said Salt in a pre-match chat with broadcasters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
RCB made it into the top two of the IPL points table for the first time after 2016, on the back of chasing 228 against LSG.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt was a run chase for the ages (against Lucknow Super Giants). It was a very good wicket in Lucknow. The way the middle-order came out and finished the job after we set it up was almost what you dream of while chasing a big score like that,\u201d added Salt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
RCB come into the Qualifier 1 clash with just a day\u2019s break, and Salt feels the side is ready to put their best foot forward for a place in the title clash on June 3. \u201cI think we have no choice but to do that.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
