Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants, RR vs LSG Live Score: The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) started their chase on a disheartening note, as they witnessed the early departure of their top-order batsmen in rapid succession. The proficient bowling of Trent Boult proved formidable as he claimed the crucial wickets of Quinton de Kock and Devdutt Padikkal, denting LSG’s early momentum. Adding to the setback, Burger managed to dismiss Badoni, further exacerbating the pressure on the Lucknow outfit during the power play phase.
With the loss of key wickets, the onus was heavily upon the seasoned shoulders of KL Rahul, the skipper of LSG. And he didn’t disappoint. Rahul scored a 58 off 44 deliveries. Nicholas Pooran in the middle kept the hopes alive for guests for some time. But at the end, RR played a better cricket and won the match against LSG by 20 runs. Avesh Khan successfully defended 25 runs in the last over. Pooran’s gutsy innings went in vain.

Earlier in the day, we saw Samju Samson timing the ball well as Rajasthan Royals posted a good score on the board at Tata IPL 2024 match number 4 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Samson won the toss and opted to bat against Lucknow Super Giants. After Jos Buttler and Yashaswi Jaiswal fell early, it was skipper Samson’s responsibility to avoid any batting collapse. Along with him, young Riyan Parag was giving an able partnership. Their gritty third wicket partnership got Rajasthan back in game. Just when Parag was getting charged up, Naveen-ul-Haq removed him at 43. Parag had survived earlier when Mohsin Khan dropped his catch.

Welcome back. If you are joining us right now, here’s an action recap. This is the fourth match of the Tata IPL 2024. Hosts Rajasthan Royals are facing Lucknow Super Giants in Jaipur. Winning the toss, RR skipper Sanju Sason chose to bat first. Royals have given a target of 194 to Giants.
The LSG chase began on a poor note with the team losing its top batters in quick succession. Trent Boult took two wickets of Quinton de Kock, Devdutt Padikkal. And then Burger got Badoni. The power play setbacks have put Lucknow under immense pressure. All eyes are on KL Rahul. Can the LSG skipper do what Samson did for his team?
Maintaining a striking rate of 157.69, Samson showcased his batting prowess by unleashing three boundaries and six towering sixes, demonstrating his ability to dominate the opposition with both finesse and power.
Hetmyer caught behind was not something Rajasthan Royals had anticipated. The hard-hitter was here to make runs but was removed by Bishnoi. LSG appealed, whch was given. Earlier, Parag walked back after scoring 43. Now Samson and Jurel are in the middle. Can there be a last over surge?
In a display of exemplary leadership at the crease, Sanju Samson crafted a masterful innings, reaching the significant milestone of fifty runs off just thirty-three deliveries. His performance showcased not only his batting prowess but also his ability to lead by example, inspiring his team with every well-timed stroke and calculated decision.
After rather sluggish pace, Samson and Parag are turning the hear. Their third wicket partnership has got 54 added to the team’s total on the board. A very expensive over by Bishnoi.
First it was Bishnoi now its birthday boy Krunal Pandya. Back-to-back tight overs have put Lucknow in commanding position. After Buttler and Jaiswal’s early dismissal, Samson may not risk it for a big shot. He is rotating the strike with Parag.
Just when Jaiswal was looking menacing, Mohsin Khan got rid of RR batter. Riyan Parag is down in the middle along with skipper Samson.
Yashasvi Jaiswal begins his innings with a flourish, striking a couple of exquisite boundaries off Moshin, who delivered a commendable first over. The initial three overs of the game have seen a blend of successes and challenges for both teams, with some impressive deliveries and shots countered by their counterparts. RR 27/1 (3.2)
First boundary comes in for Royals from the bat of Jos Buttler. The RR batters are facing pacer Naveen-ul-Haq who took 11 wickets in the previous season for LSG. And here comes a one-hander shot from Buttler and goes for a boundary. But Naveen takes him out on the very next delivery! Skipper Sanju Samson comes in to play. RR 13/1 (2)
