    Trent Boult and Devdutt Padikkal’s exceptional performances in the crucial LSG vs RR clash ensured that Rajasthan Royals won the game and climbed to the 2nd spot in the points table with 8 wins. Rajasthan has given themselves a much better chance at qualifying for the playoff with this win. In contrast, Lucknow Super Giants now definitely need to win their remaining game to qualify without any hiccups in the playoffs.

    LSG vs RR Highlights:

    Rajasthan Royals decide to bat first after winning the toss. Captain Sanju Samson pointed out that their strength lies in batting first and piling pressure on the opponent. On the other hand, KL Rahul was happy that his team got the chance to bowl first. Before the game began, Mathew Hayden did a pitch assessment and said that the pitch is a batter’s heaven and somewhere around 180 would be a par score on this pitch.

    Playing XIs:

    LSG: Quinton de Kock (wk), KL Rahul (c), Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Ayush Badoni, Marcus Stoinis, Jason Holder, Mohsin Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Dushmantha Chameera, Avesh Khan

    RR Inning:

    Jos Buttle could not get going, but Yashasvi Jaiswal continued the assault from one end in the RR inning. Jaiswal scored 41 off 29, and Buttler made 2 off 6. Samson chipped in with a significant contribution of 32 in 24.
    Devdutt Padikkal played a crucial knock that actually turned the tide in favour of Rajasthan. Padikkal played a blazing knock of 39off 18, including 5 fours and 2 sixes. Ashwin and Trent Boult collected a few boundaries in the end to help RR post 178/6 in 20 overs.

    LSG Inning:

     

    Lucknow had a horrible start as Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul, and Ayush Badoni failed to put up performances of significance. Deepak Hooda scored a half-century, but no other batter supported him. Hooda scored 59 off 39.
    In the end, Lucknow fell short by 24 runs to lose the game.
    Player of the game: Trent Boult for picking up 2 wickets while giving away only 18 runs and also scoring 17 off 9.
