RR vs LSG: Rajasthan Royals, who are struggling to perform well, will have to try to break the order of three consecutive defeats in the match against Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday in the Indian Premier League. Royals ranks eighth in the points table with just two wins in seven matches. In the last match, Delhi Capitals suffered defeat in the super over. Royals will now forget this defeat and win their position in the points table by winning against Rishabh Pant -led Lucknow team.
The Royals team struggling due to lack of bowling and continuity in batting could not get their rhythm. Captain Sanju Samson had to retire due to side strain in the last match, but later he said he was fine. Royals's batting has so far failed and the middle order has failed to perform well under pressure. Although opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has indicated a return to the form by creating a half -century against Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals, it remains to be seen whether he can retain the same form or not.
Samson's bat is also quiet since scoring 66 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first match. A lot will depend on his and Jaiswal's form. Royals batsmen Shardul Thakur, Avesh Khan, Digvesh Rathi and Ravi Bishnoi will face bowlers. Ryan Parag and Dhruv Jurael also failed to make any significant contribution. Nitish Rana had scored 51 runs in the last match and the team will expect a similar innings from him.
In bowling, Jofra Archer is returning to the form but other bowlers have proved to be expensive except Sandeep Sharma. On the other hand, Lucknow is in good condition despite losing to Chennai Super Kings in the last match. The team is in fifth place by winning four out of seven matches. Lucknow batsmen, especially Nicholas Puran (357 runs in seven matches) and Mitchell Marsh (295 runs in six matches) are currently in poor form.
