In the IPL 2026 match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have reached the score of 127 runs for the loss of one wicket in 10 overs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

 

Having been put to bat first, LSG's opening batsman Josh Inglis departed after scoring 60 runs in just 29 balls, including seven boundaries and three maximums.

Fellow opening batsman Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran are unbeaten at the crease. Rajasthan's Yash Punja managed to pick up one wicket.

Jofra Archer, Sushant Mishra, Sandeep Sharma, and Brijesh Sharma have not bagged any wickets so far in the match.

Earlier, RR's stand-in skipper Yashasvi Jaiswal won the toss and elected to bowl first against Lucknow. The Royals entered the clash with two changes, where Lhuan-dre Pretorious replaced the injured skipper Riyan Parag, and Adam Milne made way for Sandeep Sharma. Sushant Mishra also made his IPL debut.

After winning the toss, RR's stand-in skipper Jaiswal said, "We're going to bowl first, and I feel like it's a good wicket.
Later on, there will be some dew, I hope. So, we are going to chase. (On being the captain) It means a lot to me, and I'm proud to always represent the Rajasthan Royals franchise. (on Riyan Parag) He had some hamstring injury, and he'll be fine soon, I hope so. So, he's not playing this game. We have three changes. Sandy, Sushant Mishra, and Lhuan-dre Pretorious come in. (on the improvements needed) I think we are all speaking to everyone, and I think the mindset and attitude that we will bring out into the ground, and just enjoy the game. (on their winless record in Jaipur) I think I'll just smile and enjoy the game and play.
That said, I think it's a wonderful, wonderful day, and we have the opportunity to play good cricket. So we are going to enjoy the game. (On Jadeja) Nothing much at the moment. Jaddu bhai is recovering. He has some niggles, but he'll be fine soon".

On the other hand, the Super Giants have also made two changes. Ayush Badoni has come in place of Aiden Markram, and Mohsin Khan replaced Mohammed Shami.
