So far in the IPL 2025, LSG have won four matches out of the seven played. They are coming off a five-wicket defeat against CSK at home. Captain Rishabh Pant has not performed so far this season.

Saturday's meeting between RR and LSG will be the sixth between the franchises, with the latter leading the way with three wins. RR, on the other hand, have won 2 matches, with no contest ending in a no-result.
1. Nicholas Pooran
Nicholas Pooran has scored 357 runs with an explosive strike rate of 208 in seven innings. He is the leading run getter on the Orange Cap list, making him an ideal choice for the Captain

Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh are the two safest options to have on the team, as they both are in good form. They have been contributing consistently for LSG
RR: The Rajasthan Royals are coming off a super-over defeat in the last encounter against Delhi. They would be looking to come back on track and pick up momentum for the remainder of IPL 2025.
LSG: Lucknow Supergiants are coming into this contest facing a defeat at home against MS Dhoni's led CSK. They will look for a win and crash into the top 4 of the points table.
