IPL 2026: Here's all you need to know about RR vs LSG match no 64 timing, squad, H2H & more

Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul has vowed to improve following his team’s 20-run defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals on Sunday (March 24) in Jaipur in IPL 2024. He, however, claimed not to read much into the result, saying none of the teams have cracked the Powerplay code this season thus far. In the first six overs against RR, LSG scored 47 for three, with Deepak Hooda coming as the Impact Player after early jitters.

While Quinton de Kock hit straight to deep fine leg off Trent Boult in the first over, resulting in his wicket, Devdutt Padikkal and Ayush Badoni faced the wrath of short balls following the allowance of two bouncers per over from this season.

"It is just the first game, and I am not going to make too much out of it or over-analyse," Rahul said at the post-match presentation.

"[The] Powerplay is crucial for every team, and I don't think any team has cracked it yet. Mohsin [Khan] was our powerplay bowler in the first season, but he wasn't fully fit last season. Good to see him back. Naveen [ul-Haq] has been crucial for us since he has come in,” the LSG skipper added.

Although Rahul contributed with runs after trying to weather Boult’s storm early on, he failed to guide his team past the winning line in the tournament opener. Nicholas Pooran and Deepak Hooda were among the runs as well, but couldn’t add enough to see their side chase 194.

Reflecting on the loss, Rahul said the target was achievable as the team will look to improve from here.

"We will learn from the small mistakes we made. When we are three [down] for nothing, and we gave ourselves a chance of chasing 194 speaks of our line-up. But we need to find ways to win games of cricket. We'll try to build from here, and see where we can get stronger,” Rahul said.

"When you get runs, you always feel good," he said. "But it's important for us to end up on the winning side. That gives more satisfaction,” the skipper added.

<h2>Rajasthan tops Lucknow in Jaipur</h2>

Sanju Samson, the RR captain, was on song in Jaipur, hitting his first fifty of the season and remaining unbeaten on 82 off 52 balls. Riyan Parag was the second-highest run-getter with 43.

While defending, Boult picked two wickets, and others picked a wicket each, with Sandeep Sharma being their top-notch seamer.&nbsp;

IPL 2024: LSG’s KL Rahul vows not to read much into 20-run defeat against RR but aims to improve

Rajasthan Royals (RR) secured their first win of the new IPL campaign by defeating Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in front of a packed home crowd at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Sunday (Mar 24).&nbsp;Chasing a difficult target of 194, the Giants fell short by 20 runs despite a late charge from Nicholas Pooran who remained unbeaten on 64 off 41 deliveries.&nbsp;

LSG did well to take the game deep, especially considering they were&nbsp;11/3 in the fourth over. Trent Boult started off the proceedings by bowling a loosener on the pads that an unfortunate Quinton de Kock slammed straight to the lone fielder standing on the long leg boundary.&nbsp;

Devdutt Padikkal was scruffed up by the Kiwi with a bouncer to the helmet before funnelling in a length ball that uprooted the middle and offstump out of the ground. Impact sub Nandre Burger took his debut wicket in the form of Ayush Badoni who shunted a pacy delivery straight down the throat of Buttler at mid off.&nbsp;

Just when it looked like the LSG innings was disintegrating, Hooda (26) played a nice, little cameo to kickstart the comeback trail. Skipper KL Rahul picked up the scent alongside Pooran and the duo stitched an 85-run partnership.&nbsp;

Sandeep Sharma, once renowned for his opening ball bursts but now bestowed with closing the innings was called into the action in the 15th over and flipped the game on its head. He picked up Rahul's wicket and bowled couple of miser overs which increased the asking rate astronomically.

In the end, LSG needed 27 runs off the last over, which proved a touch too much, even for someone like Pooran who was seeing the white ball like a football.

<h2>Samson-Parag set the platform</h2>

Batting first, the Royals were off to a poor start as Jos Buttler departed on the lowly score of 11, attempting a loose waft at an outside off delivery bowled by Naveen-ul-Haq. KL Rahul, donning the gloves for the first time after his injury, managed to make the difficult chance easy.&nbsp;

Buttler's partner and rising superstar Yashasvi Jaiswal did play a few audacious shots but he also departed in the powerplay as he scythed a back-of-length delivery, straight to Krunal Pandya at mid-on.&nbsp;

Newly promoted at no. 4, Riyan Parag joined forces with his skipper and the duo started the rebuilding process. Both players took some time in the middle to get used to the double-paced nature of the pitch before cutting loose.&nbsp;

Parag played a breezy hand with a 29-ball 43-run knock laced with three sixes and a boundary while Samson on the other hand, continued his trend of lightning up the opening match of the tournament,&nbsp;

Owing to Samson's effortless hitting Royals managed to post the challenging total which was above par for the surface. For Lucknow, the damage could have been greater if it wasn't for the last three overs where the bowlers pulled up their socks and somehow stopped the RR batters from going completely bonkers.&nbsp;

<h2>RR fall short of target</h2>

Chasing 155, the hosts playing in their first home game in Jaipur got off to a great start as Jos Buttler (40) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (44) were in great touch. However, quick wickets and poor communication saw RR lose Jaiswal and Sanju Samson (2) and were left in a vulnerable situation. Devdutt Padikkal (26) showed resilience with the bat but lacked support at the other end with RR also losing Buttler at the wrong time.

In the end, Marcus Stoinis’ two wickets with the ball and 21 runs proved to be the biggest difference-maker. Avesh Khan scalped three wickets with the ball and held his nerves in the final over when RR needed 19 runs.

LSG skipper KL Rahul and in-form batter Kyle Mayers failed to provide a quick start. Boult kicked off the game with a maiden over.

IPL 2023: LSG down RR in first home game of season, beat hosts by 10 runs in low-scoring affair

KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) by ten runs in match 26 of IPL 2023 on Wednesday (April 19). Put into bat, LSG were slow in their approach, on a tricky two-paced wicket, to post 154 for 7 but restricted the home side for 144 for 6 to emerge on top at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur. While Rahul rotated his bowlers nicely and was praised for his captaincy, by former cricketers Shaun Pollock and Murali Karthik, he was slammed for his rusty 32-ball 39.

Opening the innings, Rahul and Kyle Mayers took some time to get going. While Mayers managed a 42-ball 51, Rahul was also unimpressive as he returned with 39 (32). Thus, former India pacer RP Singh opined on Rahul's sluggish knock and said 'he never used to play like this'.

Singh said on JioCinema, "KL Rahul never used to play like this, he used to always have a good strike rate, take the attack to the opposition and play good shots, but here he seemed to be stuck and under pressure."

He added, "I might be wrong, but he is probably thinking that his form might return after playing a big innings. His form is not bad, he is still playing his shots, but he is not being able to find those gaps in his shots, he should take those calculative risks which he is not taking."

At the post-match presentation, Rahul said, "We game in here yesterday and saw 180 would be a par score, but the first over from Boult, me and Kyle had a chat and realised this isn't a 180 wicket. The ball was keeping a bit low, so we gave ourselves time in the powerplay. Maybe if we played a bit better, we might have got 170 as well." However, he was also slammed by former India head coach Ravi Shastri for his defensive approach.&nbsp;

"Absolutely (needs to get the strike up). All that talk about 160, I don't buy it. When you have two chances, if you convert that 39 to 60 or 70, 160 becomes 175. You need someone in the top 3 to carry on and play that long innings," Shastri told Star Sports.

LSG are in the second spot in the points table, with eight points from six games, and will host defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) at the&nbsp;Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Saturday afternoon (April 22).

Opening the innings, Rahul and Kyle Mayers took some time to get going. While Mayers managed a 42-ball 51, Rahul was also unimpressive as he returned with 39 (32). Thus, former India pacer RP Singh opined on Rahul's sluggish knock and said 'he never used to play like this'. Singh said on JioCinema, "KL Rahul never used to play like this, he used to always have a good strike rate, take the attack to the opposition and play good shots, but here he seemed to be stuck and under pressure." Also read: IPL 2023: Arjun Tendulkar's alignment isn't good, won't be able to generate pace, claims former Pak captain He added, "I might be wrong, but he is probably thinking that his form might return after playing a big innings. His form is not bad, he is still playing his shots, but he is not being able to find those gaps in his shots, he should take those calculative risks which he is not taking." At the post-match presentation, Rahul said, "We game in here yesterday and saw 180 would be a par score, but the first over from Boult, me and Kyle had a chat and realised this isn't a 180 wicket. The ball was keeping a bit low, so we gave ourselves time in the powerplay. Maybe if we played a bit better, we might have got 170 as well." However, he was also slammed by former India head coach Ravi Shastri for his defensive approach. "Absolutely (needs to get the strike up). All that talk about 160, I don't buy it. When you have two chances, if you convert that 39 to 60 or 70, 160 becomes 175. You need someone in the top 3 to carry on and play that long innings," Shastri told Star Sports. LSG are in the second spot in the points table, with eight points from six games, and will host defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Saturday afternoon (April 22).

RR vs LSG ticket booking online: How to book tickets for Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants match?

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be aiming to become the second team to qualify for the playoffs in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 when they lock horns with Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday (May 15). LSG suffered a humiliating 62-run defeat against table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) in their last game and will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways.

Asked to chase down a moderate target of 145 runs, LSG's batting line-up faltered against Gujarat Titans at the MCA Stadium in Pune as they were skittled out for just 82 runs - their lowest total in IPL so far. It was a disappointing performance from KL Rahul &amp; Co., who were also given a moving speech by mentor Gautam Gambhir in the dressing room post the game.

'Losing is fine but there is a lot wrong in giving up' - was Gambhir's message to his team after their dismal show against the Titans. Lucknow Super Giants will be hoping to make amends with the willow and return to winning ways against Sanju Samson-led Royals on Sunday.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, not only have a healthy chance of making it to the playoffs but they might as well finish in the top two if they can win their remaining two matches. RR too are heading into their clash against LSG on the back of an 8-wicket loss against Delhi Capitals in their last game.

Several issues have popped up for the Royals in their last few games. While runs have dried up for in-form Jos Buttler, who was looking unstoppable at the start of the season with twin centuries, captain Sanju Samson too has only one fifty in the last five games for his team.

However, with the return of West Indies batter Shimron Hetmyer in the playing XI after the birth of his first child, Rajasthan Royals will be hoping to spark a turnaround against LSG on Sunday. If LSG win, they will qualify for the playoffs while a loss for them would put RR in a strong position in the race for the top four.

LSG vs RR, IPL 2022 today match prediction: Who will win Lucknow Super Giants vs Rajasthan Royals match?

KL Rahul was going to be one of the main batters for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their stiff 166-run chase versus the one-time winners Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match 20 of the IPL 2022 edition. However, captain Rahul fell for a first-ball duck in LSG's run-chase, to push the team on the back foot before they eventually lost the clash by mere three runs.

Talking about Rahul's dismissal, he was left gobsmacked by an absolute jaffa from RR pacer Trent Boult who bowled an inswinger from round the wicket. The delivery left Rahul with no time to react as the right-hander saw his stumps getting rattled in a jiffy. Here's the video of Rahul's dismissal:

Yuzvendra Chahal wasn't retained or brought back by his seven-year-old franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) ahead of IPL 2022. Thus, he was attained by one-time winners Rajasthan Royals (RR) and the wily wrist spinner is delivering the goods for the inaugural champions in the 15th season of the cash-rich league.

In match 20 of IPL 2022, on Sunday evening (April 10), the RR franchise faced the in-form KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. After two successive wins and then a loss, RR had to return to winning ways and they did courtesy Chahal's match-winning 4-0-41-4. He accounted for the scalps of Quinton de Kock, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya and Dushmantha Chameera to guide his side to a narrow three-run win, in defence of 166 (being asked to bat first).&nbsp;

Courtesy his spell, Chahal scripted a new record as he became the second-fastest to the 150-wicket club in IPL (in his 118th match). He is the fourth Indian -- all spinners -- to enter the elite club.

In addition, Chahal also attained the Purple Cap and now has 11 wickets to his name in the current season. At the post-match presentation, he stated, "Backed myself. My main strength is my mind. Didn't want to divert from what I usually do. I was always ready to bowl at anytime from overs 1-20. Enjoyed de Kock's wicket the most. He could've changed the game.

RR vs LSG: Yuzvendra Chahal scripts a new record, becomes 2nd fastest to claim 150 IPL wickets

R Ashwin left many surprised as he decided to retire out while batting during his side Rajasthan Royals (RR)'s clash against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday (April 10). Ashwin became the first batter in the history of IPL to retire out during a game as he walked off the pitch voluntarily without getting dismissed or injured.

Ashwin, who came out to bat at number six for RR in their clash against LSG, was batting on 28 off 23 balls when he decided to walk off the pitch retired out and allowed Riyan Parag to take the strike. Parag went on to score 8 off just 4 balls including a six. His runs proved crucial for RR as they went on to beat LSG by just 3 runs after successfully defending the total of 165 runs.

Ashwin recently opened up on his decision to retire out in the 19th over and said it was a 'moment thing'. Ashwin explained in football terms how T20 is a team game and such decisions can sometimes help the team in turning around the result of a game.

"It was an in the moment thing," Ashwin told Cricbuzz on his decision to retire out.&nbsp;"T20 is more a team game than we all know. It is almost as much as football. The goal scorers are like your opening batter or wicket-takers. But they are worth it only if your goalkeeper or defenders are ready to do what it takes," he added.

As per the rules, a batter can retire any time during the game and walk off the pitch if he wants to and he is considered retired out in such a case. However, as per the laws, if the batter has decided to retire without any injury or illness, he can return in that innings to bat again only after the consent of the opposition captain.

Rajasthan Royals head coach Kumar Sangakkara was also asked about Ashwin's decision post the game and he revealed it was a joint call taken by both the spinner and the RR management. He also lauded Ashwin for sacrificing his wicket and for his excellent bowling performance.

"Ashwin himself was asking from the field as well, and we had discussed it just before that, as to what we would do," Sangakkara said.

After scoring 28 off 23 balls, Ashwin bowled an economical spell conceding 20 runs off his four overs. Yuzvendra Chahal was the pick of the bowlers for RR as he claimed a four-wicket haul to help his side restrict LSG to 162/8 in the 166-run chase to win the game by just three runs.&nbsp;

IPL 2022: R Ashwin breaks silence, explains reason behind decision to 'retire out' during RR vs LSG clash

Trent Boult was breathing fire in Rajasthan Royals' (RR) face-off versus KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in match 20 of the IPL 2022 edition on Sunday evening (April 10). After Sanju Samson-led RR were asked to bat first and they rode on Shimron Hetmyer's 59 to post 165-6, Boult's opening spell tilted the game in RR's favour before they eventually won the close contest by three runs, at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

As Rahul &amp; Co. came out to bat in their 166-run chase, the Lucknow skipper was left gobsmacked with an absolute peach of an inswinger from the New Zealand speedster. Thus, he was dismissed off the first ball of the run-chase before Boult also claimed Krishnappa Gowtham's wicket. He ended with 4-0-30-2 whereas Yuzvendra Chahal returned with 4 for 41 to take RR to a 3-run win.

Here's the video of Rahul's dismissal by Boult:

While many thought it was Sri Lanka's former pacer and RR's current fast bowling coach Lasith Malinga's idea to ask Boult to bowl an inswinger from round the wicket, the Kiwi revealed the real mastermind and credited his compatriot James Neesham -- who was warming the RR bench -- for the memorable wicket.

At the post-match presentation, Boult revealed, "It was a late call at breakfast, and it was Jimmy Neesham's idea to go with that plan against KL Rahul. I don't want to give him too much credit (laughs). My role with the new ball is to take as many wickets as possible. It's a pretty simple game for me at the top and get it to swing. The humidity and the overheads assisted it."

Meanwhile, Rahul opined on the unplayable delivery and said, "I didn't see it (the ball that got him from Boult), if I did I could have done something about it. Have to give it to him. Was a good ball."

Trent Boult was breathing fire in Rajasthan Royals' (RR) face-off versus KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in match 20 of the IPL 2022 edition on Sunday evening (April 10).

Trent Boult was breathing fire in Rajasthan Royals' (RR) face-off versus KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in match 20 of the IPL 2022 edition on Sunday evening (April 10). After Sanju Samson-led RR were asked to bat first and they rode on Shimron Hetmyer's 59 to post 165-6, Boult's opening spell tilted the game in RR's favour before they eventually won the close contest by three runs, at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. As Rahul & Co. came out to bat in their 166-run chase, the Lucknow skipper was left gobsmacked with an absolute peach of an inswinger from the New Zealand speedster. Thus, he was dismissed off the first ball of the run-chase before Boult also claimed Krishnappa Gowtham's wicket. He ended with 4-0-30-2 whereas Yuzvendra Chahal returned with 4 for 41 to take RR to a 3-run win.

Not Lasith Malinga! Trent Boult reveals mastermind behind KL Rahul's dismissal in RR-LSG tie

Yuzvendra Chahal was the star performer for Rajasthan Royals (RR) as the Sanju Samson-led franchise beat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by three runs to end the debutant team's three-match winning streak, on Sunday evening (April 10) at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.&nbsp;

As RR were asked to bat first, they were struggling at 67-4 before Shimron Hetmyer's 59 propelled the team score to 165-6. While Trent Boult's opening spell put RR ahead in their defence of 166, Yuzi Chahal rose to the occasion to strike at regular intervals and leave LSG behind in the contest. While Chahal had a memorable day with his performances making a mark, his anger at the umpire also made heads turn.

The incident took place when the 31-year-old wrist-spinner came onto bowl the 18th over. The RR spinner resorted to a leg break which was pitched outside off-stump, with Sri Lankan pacer Dushmantha Chameera going for a slog sweep and missing it completely. While it seemed fairly evident that the ball was within the marker when it passed the stumps, it was adjudged a wide by the on-field umpire. Thus, this left Chahal lose his cool and argue with the umpire:

Despite what seemed like an umpiring error, Chahal-starrer RR didn't pay a heavy price as the bowler removed Chameera on the very next delivery. Chahal accounted for the scalps of Quinton de Kock, Chameera, Ayush Badoni and Krunal Pandya.&nbsp;

At the post-match presentation, Player-of-the-Match Chahal said, "Backed myself. My main strength is my mind. Didn't want to divert from what I usually do. I was always ready to bowl at anytime from overs 1-20. Enjoyed de Kock's wicket the most. He could've changed the game. Had seen him step out, had an intuition he'd come again (Badoni).

IPL 2022: Yuzvendra Chahal loses his temper at the umpire during RR vs LSG encounter – Watch

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be looking to continue their winning streak in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 when they take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday (April 10). The KL Rahul-led side have been unbeaten in their last three games after suffering a five-wicket defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans in their opening game.

Touted as one of the most balanced sides ahead of the start of the ongoing IPL 2022 season, LSG have finally started to find momentum in their debut campaign. Jason Holder's return has&nbsp;bolstered their lower-middle order and pace department while Marcus Stoinis' comeback will further strengthen their team.

In their last game against Delhi Capitals, Quinton de Kock slammed a quickfire 80 off just 52 balls to power his side to a thrilling win. While skipper KL Rahul struggled to get off to a flyer, De Kock took the DC bowlers to the cleaners. LSG will hope Rahul can find his mojo on Sunday and the bowlers can step up against an in-form Royals batting line-up.

Rajasthan Royals had made a brilliant start to their IPL 2022 campaign with a thumping 61-run win against Sunrrisers Hyderabad before beating Mumbai Indians in their next game. RR could have made it three wins in three games against RCB in their last encounter but a sensational cameo from Dinesh Karthik saw them fail to defend 169 runs despite being in a strong position in the game at one stage.

The Royals have one of the best pace attacks comprising of the likes of Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna and Navdeep Saini among others. They also have one of the best spin pairs in Yuzvendra Chahal and R Ashwin who have both been among the wickets so far this season. LSG batters will be tested by the RR bowling attack at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.

RR vs LSG, IPL 2022 today match prediction:

Rajasthan Royals nearly had their third win in the bag against RCB in their last game but their bowlers failed to step up in the death overs against a cool and composed Dinesh Karthik. Trent Boult's performance will hold the key for the Royals in their clash against LSG on Sunday as the Kiwi quick can rattle the opposition with his pace and movement early in the game. RR are expected to beat LSG at the Wankhede on Sunday.
