RR vs LSG playing 11 today:  RR playing 11: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubham Dubey, Riyan Parag(c), Nitish Rana, Dhruv Jurel(w), Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande  Impact players: Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Akash Madhwal, Kumar Kartikeya, Kunal Singh Rathore  LSG playing 11: Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant(w/c), David Miller, Abdul Samad, Ravi Bishnoi, Shardul Thakur, Prince Yadav, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Avesh Khan  Impact players: Ayush Badoni, Mayank Yadav, Shahbaz Ahmed, Matthew Breetzke, Himmat Singh  Here's what both captains said after the toss:  Riyan Parag (RR): We were looking to bowl, it is a little bit warm under lights, should be better than the last time. Vaibhav the youngster comes in. It's been kinda tricky, we've been doing small bits right but we haven't been able to put a collective performance together, we've been having honest chats as a team. We love playing here, we know the conditions well, hope we can put that to good use.  Rishabh Pant (LSG): We're going to bat first, wicket is looking dry so we want to take advantage. No dew so why not bat first. General thought process was to take the positives. We are lacking in small areas, want to improve on those and take the game forward. Was good to get back into form and contribute. I was not worried about, knew it was round the corner. Sometimes it takes time and I got time in the last game. Prince comes in for Akash Deep.

 

RR have only featured in one home fixture so far this season — a tough nine-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. However, the Royals traditionally enjoy a strong track record at this venue and will be looking to turn their fortunes around on familiar turf. 

 

It has been a challenging campaign for the Sanju Samson-led Royals, who have struggled to find consistency. With only two wins from seven matches, their bowling attack has particularly failed to make an impact, often allowing opposition batters to dominate. RR now face a must-win situation if they hope to keep their playoff dreams alive.

 

In contrast, Lucknow Super Giants have had a steady run in the tournament. With four wins from seven matches, they sit in a promising mid-table position. A win in Jaipur would further strengthen their playoff push and give them momentum heading into the business end of the league stage.

 

Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur: Pitch report for RR vs LSG IPL 2025

 

In the last match held at this venue, Rajasthan Royals posted a total of 173/4, but Royal Challengers Bengaluru chased it down comfortably in under 18 overs with just one wicket lost. With only five wickets falling in the entire match, it was evident that the bowlers found it difficult to make an impact.

 

Although the upcoming fixture may not produce an exceptionally high score, bowlers might still face challenges in picking up wickets. The ground's dimensions could limit the batters' ability to clear the boundary with ease, offering bowlers a chance to exploit those conditions and apply pressure.
