Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants Playing 11, IPL 2024: Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals will open their Indian Premier League 2024 campaign against KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday.
Although both Rajasthan and Lucknow have well-rounded squads going into the game, there are still a few places that need to be filled before the game. Prior to Adam Zampa’s decision to withdraw from the competition, RR lost Prasidh Krishna to injury. It would be intriguing to watch how the LSG XI plays out in the interim, given Rahul has been requested by the BCCI to play as a specialist batter for the time being.
Here is the RR vs LSG playing XI prediction
Padikkal will debut with LSG.
Devdutt Padikkal, who was traded in from the Rajasthan Royals before the season, will play against his previous team in the League of Legends. Rahul’s spot will probably be taken by Padikkal as the opener, with the captain choosing to drop back in the order to pursue his World Cup goals.
Powell, Avesh debut for RR
The Rajasthan Royals are expecting West Indies powerhouse Rovman Powell to be a finisher, complementing the middle-order strength that Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, and Shimron Hetmyer have already established. After joining the Padikkal deal from LSG prior to the season, veteran Avesh Khan is also expected to make his team debut.
RR predicted XI vs LSG: Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c, wk), Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Dhruv Jurel, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, Trent Boult.
LSG predicted XI vs RR: Quinton de Kock (wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Deepak Hooda, KL Rahul (c), Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Naveen-ul-Haq, Yash Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi.
