IPL 2025, RR vs LSG Live Score Updates: Catch all the live action, highlights and important updates from Rajasthan Royals' IPL 2025 clash against Lucknow Super Giants at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. IPL 2025, RR vs LSG Live Score: Hello and a very warm welcome to News18 CricketNext’s live coverage of Match 36 of the Indian Premier League (IPL)’s 2025 season. As Sanju Samson and Rajasthan Royals (RR) get ready to host Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, they would know that their season is at a crossroads.
When a team is losing — and as badly as RR collecting two wins in seven matches — everything goes under the microscope. In their last match, more than their Super Over tactics, it was an off-pitch interaction between Rahul Dravid and Samson that was judged as a sign of ‘rift’ between them. Similarly, though Samson and Pant have endured similar seasons with the bat and with their tactics, a loss to LSG might put the former under immense pressure with questions on his place in the side.
The visiting team’s recent win over the Gujarat Titans has given Pant a much bigger breathing room to focus on the cricket. Who’ll prevail between desperation and confidence? We’ll find out in today’s exciting clash! RR Vs LSG Pitch Report: The match between RR and LSG will be played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, where in the last match, played on Sunday (April 13). After getting an invitation to bat first, the Royals posted a total of 173 runs on the board.
However, it didn’t prove to be enough, and RCB went on to win the match by 9 wickets. Like Riyan Parag said before that match, the pitch here is not like other grounds in the country. It’s far from flat and has some low bounce and turn available for bowlers.
The big boundaries also make big-hitting difficult. Powerplays are of utmost importance, as RCB showed, but if bowlers can take early wickets, they can restrict the batting side well under 200. RR Vs LSG Probable Playing 12s: Rajasthan Royals: Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Rishabh Pant (C & WK), David Miller, Abdul Samad, Shardul Thakur, Avesh Khan, Akash Deep, Digvesh Singh Rathi and Ravi Bishnoi Lucknow Super Giants: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (C & WK), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Nitish Rana, Shubham Dubey, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande.
