Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants Team Preview
Rajasthan Royals
The Rajasthan Royals have stormed back into the competition after losing a nail-biting match against the Punjab Kings, playing up to their hype by winning three straight games. Sanju Samson’s club is one of the favorites, having clinched the top slot with 8 points in five matches. With another win, they may easily extend their lead.
With no RR players injured or unavailable from the previous match, it is quite doubtful that their starting XI would alter. This also implies that Devdutt Padikkal could be the Royals’ Impact Player in Match 26.
Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow Super Giants have performed admirably in their second season as well. They narrowly lost to the formidable Punjab Kings, despite captain KL Rahul’s return to form. They are, however, not far behind, with 6 points in five matches. Another victory might propel them above and past RR to the top of the points standings.
After both Kyle Mayers and Nicholas Pooran failed to stabilize the batting order in successive wins, Match 26 could ultimately force them to start Quinton de Kock. Amit Mishra, a veteran Indian spinner, may also be called up for this match. Finally, Deepak Hooda appears to have lost his touch in recent games, therefore this upcoming game is essential for him as well.
