IPL 2023 - 3 players to watch out for in RR vs LSG clash

Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants are set to lock horns with each other in the 26th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023. Both teams will play this match at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur today from 7.30 PM. Notably, both teams have performed very well so far in the tournament.

Rajasthan Royals are placed at the top spot in the points table of IPL 2023 whereas Lucknow Super Giants are just a spot behind in the second position in the points table with three wins in the five matches so far in IPL 2023.

So, it will also be a clash to gain the top spot in the points table of the tournament; with said that, here we’ll have a look at the three players to watch out for during this all-important clash between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants.

Sanju Samson

After two unexpected failures, Rajasthan Royals’ skipper Sanju Samson made an amazing return to batting form in the last match against Gujarat Titans. While chasing the target of 178 runs for Rajasthan, Samson smashes a swashbuckling knock of 60 runs off just 32 balls with three boundaries and six sixes to his name.

Apart from that, had been in good touch with the bat at the start of the Indian Premier League 2023. So, if the Kerala-born star wicketkeeper-batter keeps his golden run of form going, it would definitely shift the momentum in favour of RR against Lucknow Super Giants.

The veteran Kiwi pacer Trent Boult has proved his worth in a couple of matches for the Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023. Speaking of his last 10 T20 appearances, Boult has scalped 12 wickets in nine innings. Apart from that, he has been very crucial in both the powerplay and the death overs.

He could play a big role for Rajasthan Royals at their home ground in Jaipur. Apart from that, the senior left-arm quick can trouble LSG batters with his experience and skills with the bowl.

The star England pacer Mark Wood has impressed and stunned everyone with his amazing and sensational pace in the current season of the Indian Premier League 2023. Bowling brilliantly in the tournament so far, Boult has scalped 12 wickets in only four matches he appeared in for the Lucknow Super Giants.

In these four appearances of IPL 2023, he has also claimed a five-wicket haul in the match against Delhi Capitals on the 1st of April at the AB Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. He could be an X factor for LSG in the match against RR; be it bowling first or defending the target in the second innings.
