Match Preview: RR vs LSG – IPL 2025, Match 36
Rajasthan Royals haven’t had the smoothest ride this year — just 2 wins from 7 games. Despite some flashes of brilliance, like Nitish Rana’s composed half-century in the last match, they’re still struggling to find momentum. A super over loss to Delhi Capitals? Brutal.
Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, are holding up better with 4 wins in 7 matches. Rishabh Pant is showing form and intent with the bat, and even though they lost to CSK last time, LSG have looked more settled overall.
Oh, and here’s something interesting — RR have historically dominated this head-to-head, winning 4 out of their 5 games against LSG. Will that trend continue?
