Rajasthan Royals are expected to field a dynamic XI blending youth and experience. Sanju Samson’s consistency and calm behind the stumps provide stability and leadership at the top, while Yashasvi Jaiswal and Nitish Rana bring attacking flair. Riyan Parag continues to play a key middle-order role, alongside the finishing power of Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel. The bowling attack boasts international firepower, with Jofra Archer’s pace, Theekshana’s mystery spin, and Hasaranga’s wicket-taking ability forming a strong core. Kumar Kartikeya adds left-arm variety, while Tushar Deshpande brings aggression with the new ball.

Head-to-head

The head-to-head record between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants strongly favors RR. Out of their five encounters in the IPL so far, Rajasthan have emerged victorious on four occasions, establishing a clear upper hand over their northern rivals. Whether it's home or away, RR have consistently found ways to outperform LSG, especially in pressure situations.

Statistically, Rajasthan’s batting lineup has outperformed Lucknow’s across their meetings, with RR registering both the highest team total (199) and the most consistent middle-order contributions. Meanwhile, LSG has struggled to close out games against Rajasthan, with tactical errors and underwhelming batting performances under pressure proving costly.

The upcoming match provides LSG an opportunity to rewrite this narrative. However, RR’s confidence and past dominance could be a significant factor, especially with the match being played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, where they enjoy solid crowd backing and familiarity with the pitch conditions. With the stakes rising as the playoffs near, this rivalry is shaping into one of the must-watch fixtures of the weekend.
