Rajasthan Royals will kick off their campaign against Lucknow Super Giants at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur in the 4th match of IPL 2024.

The Royals have a strong top order featuring Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sanju Samson, while the Giants rely on an attacking middle order with players like Nicholas Pooran, Marcus Stoinis, and Deepak Hooda.

As both teams look to start the season on a positive note, let’s take a look at five interesting matchups between RR and LSG.

  1. Quinton de Kock vs Yuzvendra Chahal

Spinners have always had their say against De Kock, who has recently found difficulty, especially against leg-break bowlers. Chahal has been a nightmare for the left-handed batter, dismissing him six times while conceding just 44 runs off 39 deliveries.

3. Jos Buttler vs Marcus Stoinis

Buttler has been a consistent opening batter for the Royals, playing several match-winning innings. He is a key player going up against the Giants on Sunday, but he needs to be cautious against Stoinis, who has not allowed him to score freely. Stoinis has dismissed Buttler twice, making this battle an exciting one to watch.
