Although LSG currently has four wins in seven games and LSG is currently ranked fifth, the royals find themselves in a 8th place after just two wins in the game.
Rajasthan competed behind a heartbreaking super loss against the Delhi capital. This result marked their third consecutive defeat, leaving their campaign hanging by threads. After being injured in the last game, RR will be desperate to strengthen their Indian hitting core due to the availability of Captain Sanju Samson.
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s return form is a silver lining, but the middle trio of Riyan Parag, Nitish Rana and Dhruv Jurel has not found consistency yet. Shimron Hetmyer is still a reliable finisher, but the inability of the team to release or chase a strong total has been a problem.
At the forefront of bowling, Sandeep Sharma is a great performer with a consistent spell, and Jofra Archer shows off his glory. However, the spin department has been trying to have batsmen in the middle, and the third seamist Tushar Deshpande is growing in form.
By contrast, the super giants manage to extract the best resources from their resources. Their batting unit was led by three in the form of Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram. Ayush Badoni effectively played his role, while Rishabh Pant was just emerging from half a century and looked increasingly assured. With the ball, Shardul Thakur led the charges and was backed by Avesh Khan and Akash Deep. Young Spinner Digvesh Rathi is one of the breakout stars of the season, and Ravi Bishnoi returns to the rhythm of only Bolsters LSG’s bowling power.
RR VS LSG, IPL 2025: Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch

Head to head
