Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants Highlights: In the sixteenth edition of the Indian Premier League tournament, the Lucknow Super Giants team escaped the jaws of defeat against Rajasthan Royals, who had recorded four wins so far, and grabbed their fourth win in the tournament with a 10-run victory. Giant all-rounder Marcus Stoinis shined with both bat and ball to lead the LSG team to victory.
Jaipur: Rajasthan Royals paid a heavy price for batting failure and lost by 10 runs in the best chance to win against Lucknow Supergiants. Despite losing against LSG, Rajasthan Royals retained the top spot in the tournament on the strength of a good net run rate. Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Supergiants have collected 8 points each.
Chasing a modest total of 155 runs for victory at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium here, the Rajasthan Royals team made a successful start to victory. Yasshav Jaiswal (44) provided a flying start, but surprisingly slow batting Jos Buttler could only manage 40 runs off 41 balls.
However, with 61 runs needed from 51 balls, victory was in Royal's hands. At this stage, Marcus Stoinis (2 for 28) organized a brilliant bowling attack, dismissing both Jaiswal and Buttler, who were supporting the hosts and changed the calculations. Avesh Khan (3 for 25) took three wickets in the slog overs with a Strong bowling attack.
The Royals, who were under pressure after losing consecutive wickets, managed to score 144/6 in 20 overs. Marcus, who excelled with both bat and ball, was awarded the Man of the Match.
Lucknow who earned the fighting target
Lucknow Supergiants, who struggled to get runs from the first over of the innings, could only manage to set a modest target of 155 runs to the hosts Rajasthan Royals. Batting first after losing the toss, opener Kyle Meyers (51) and captain KL Rahul (39) provided a good start with 84 runs in 64 overs, but the middle order failed to deliver as expected and had to settle for 154/7.
Marcus Stoinis (21) and Nicholas Pooran (28) started but did not convert into big innings. Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin grabbed 2 wickets for the Royals. Trent Boult gave away only 16 runs in 4 overs and got a wicket.
Royals take up the chase
Holder's brought the Royals
The pitch will help the fast bowlers. Realizing this, the Rajasthan Royals team management dropped the additional spinner Adam Zampa and picked all-rounder Jason Holder to increase the batting and bowling strength. On the other hand, Lucknow fielded Naveen Ul Haq and rested Mark Wood.

KL Rahul's Slow innings against Rajasthan Royals
KL Rahul played a slow inning in the match held on April 19. He tried to score one run. Struggled against the bowlers. Madin made the first over in the fray. After that, he scored one ball and one run. Scored 39 runs off 32 balls with 4 fours and 1 six. The streak rate was only 121. This is not limited to one inning, it is the same in all 6 matches played in the tournament.
Fan troll
The England team is batting Test cricket like T20. But why are you swinging the bat like a test in T20 cricket? Fans are asking questions. In the last year, Rahul has not performed as well as he claims in the Chutuku format. The strike rate is also falling drastically. The fans who were confident of increasing the strike rate in the IPL are a huge disappointment.
Rahul strike rate statistics
Rahul's performance in this edition of IPL has been worse than in Tests. There is no doubt about it. These figures are proof of that. The first power play (first 6 overs) is crucial for any batting team in T20 cricket. With a heroic bat swing, the batsmen are able to score big.
However, he batted like Test cricket. He scored 8 runs in 12 balls in the match against Delhi. The strike rate was 66.67. He scored 20 runs in 18 balls at a strike rate of 111.11 against Chennai. 35 runs from 31 balls (strike rate 112.90) against Sunrisers Hyderabad. 18 runs in 20 balls against RCB (strike rate 90), and 74 runs in 56 balls against Punjab but the strike rate is only 132.14.
Taking revenge KL Rahul?
Rahul gave an utter flop show in the Border Gavaskar Trophy Test series between India and Australia that ended a month ago. Rahul performed extremely poorly in the first two matches and was confined to the bench in the remaining two matches. Are you bringing out a Test player in the IPL because he did not play on the same day? Are you taking revenge by doing so? He criticized whether he is batting like this in the hope of getting elected again.
