Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season’s current table-toppers Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on number two-placed Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a ‘top of the table’ clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Wednesday. Sanju Samson’s RR have four wins in five matches – the most by any team in the league so far this year, while KL Rahul-led LSG have won 3 out of their five matches for 6 points.
The Royals have an impressive record against the LSG so far, as they have never lost to the Lucknow-based side in the two matches they have played last season. They are returning home to their favoured venue – Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur – where they have an incredible record, having won 68 per cent of their matches in IPL there.
Samson will be especially buoyed having defeated the IPL defending champions in their last match with skipper himself scoring a brilliant fifty along with Shimron Hetmyer. LSG, on the other hand, are coming into this match on the back of a loss at the hands of Punjab Kings at home but can draw solace from the fact that skipper KL Rahul found some form by scoring a half-century. Rahul, who celebrated his 31st birthday, a day before this match will be keen on winning for the first time ever against the Royals.
