RR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction IPL 2025 Match-36, Team News, Pitch Report, Squad, Fantasy Teams

The Rajasthan Royals will head to their home venue, i.e., the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, for the second time this season. They are all set to host a highly organized Lucknow Super Giants, who have been quite good in the competition so far.

Things haven’t fallen into place for the Rajasthan Royals this season. The Sanju Samson-led side has been doing ordinary in all facets of the game, especially in bowling, and haven’t been able to get the right combination thus far. Having lost 5 and won only 2 out of their 7 encounters, the Royals have been down and out at the 8th spot on the points table. Nothing less than a win can revive their campaign for now.

As far as the Lucknow Super Giants are concerned, they are heading into this game on the back of a defeat against the 5-time champions Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets. Their performance has been decent so far, and with 4 wins from 7 games, LSG stands 5th on the table. A win here can take them into the top 4 again, a small target they would be looking forward to as of now.

RR vs LSG Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, Pitch Report

Generally, the wicket at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur holds the key for the batters. Batters relish their opportunity to score runs here. The wicket is usually flat here, but what we witnessed in the last game played here between RR and RCB, in the first innings, the ball was holding a bit in the afternoon. However, nothing like that is expected in this game as this will be an evening fixture and both teams would be licking their lips to bat on this wicket and score heavily.

RR vs LSG Team News and Expected Playing XI

RR Team News

• Problems are aplenty for Rajasthan as their batting and bowling aren’t performing in unison.
• Tushar Deshpande has had enough chances to impress, but the seamer has been a big disappointment this season. Someone like Akash Madhwal, who was once an MI find, should get a game here.
• Riyan Parag has done nothing with the bat and is still playing at no. 3 instead of the in-form Nitish Rana, who has already scored 2 fifties in 6 innings. The batting lineup needs to be reshuffled and should not be around Riyan Parag.
• Depending on the surface, where pacers are more likely to have a great day at the office, Maheesh Theekshana should get dropped for either Fazalhaq Farooqi or Kwena Maphaka.

RR Expected Playing XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (C/WK), Riyan Parag, Nitish Rana, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana/Kwena Mapakha, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande/Akash Madhwal
IMPACT PLAYERS: Shubham Dubey, Kumar Kartikeya

• Delhi’s speedster Mayank Yadav has joined the squad and is most likely to play in this game.
