RR vs LSG
Rajasthan Royals (RR), currently sitting eighth on the table after two losses, have had an uneven start to this year’s IPL season.
Their top order has underperformed while bowlers have struggled. Captain Sanju Samson experienced side strain in their previous game against Delhi Capitals and was forced to retire hurt;
Rahul Dravid revealed that Samson “experienced some discomfort in the abdominal region”, prompting scans; should Samson not recover soon Riyan Parag is expected to assume captaincy duties.
LSG should not let their loss to CSK derail them as they look to continue their run of form and secure a playoff berth. Their experienced side boasts many quality players like Rishabh Pant who has proven his resilience under pressure this season. He will be essential in adding runs for their visitors with his composure at bat being essential.
Sawai Mansingh Stadium’s pitch is well known to favour both batsmen and bowlers at different stages of a match, with 20 out of 58 games played here being won by teams batting first while 37 have been won by those chasing. Batsmen will likely win the toss but Akashdeep Singh may make his debut for their side as they look to add extra bite to their attack.
Team News for Rajasthan Royals against LSG A victory would see them move above Mumbai Indians and into fourth on the points table; an away loss could see them slip to seventh position on the points table. Rajasthan Royals have had mixed fortunes on their travels this season but hope to improve their away record and return to winning ways with victory at home on Tuesday.
Rajasthan Royals will hope that Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubham Dubey can provide some much-needed momentum in their innings, after both scored half centuries in their previous two matches. Jofra Archer will lead their bowling attack this season – alongside Wanindu Hasaranga, Shubham Dubey and Maheesh Theekshana as back up players.
