Speaking of the current action of the match between RR and LSG, the latter are batting first after losing the toss; they have scored 79 runs for the loss of no wicket in 10 overs. At the time of filling this copy, the star opener, KL Rahul and Kyle Mayers were in the middle on the individual scores of 38 runs each.
None of the Rajasthan Royals’ bowlers have scalped a wicket so far in the match. Senior leggie Yuzvendra Chahal has been the most expensive bowler for his team by conceding 24 runs in just 2 overs with a disappointing strike rate of 12.00.
Notably, the win in this ongoing match is all-important for both teams to keep themselves at the top of the points table. RR have won four out of the five matches they played so far; whereas Lucknow Super Giants have won three and lost two matches from the five matches they appeared in, during the IPL 2023.
