IPL 2026: LSG vs RR Match Result:
After being invited to bat first, Rajasthan made a great start thanks to the brilliant innings of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi. However, Mohammed Shami made a brilliant comeback after Jaiswal hit three fours in his second over, taking the wicket of the southpaw and Dhruv Jurel being dismissed for a golden duck on the next ball.
Suryavanshi also played a careless shot after playing five dot balls against Mohsin Khan as Royal’s top order once again faltered with three quick wickets. Ryan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer tried to put on a 30-run partnership, but the Rajasthan captain was out for 20 as his poor form continued. Soon Hetmyer also returned to the pavilion after scoring 22 runs.
Ravindra Jadeja and Donovan Ferreira made a short partnership of 33 runs, the latter being dismissed by Prince Yadav. Then, Ravindra Jadeja and influential player Shubam Dubey scored 49 runs in the last four overs and helped the Royals score a good score of 159/6 by scoring 20 runs in the last over. Jaddu remained unbeaten after scoring 43 runs on 29 balls.
LSG had a very bad start to chase the target, Ayush Badoni was out early due to brain fade run out and after that Rishabh Pant was out for zero and Aiden Markram also failed to open his account and the home team’s score was 11/3. After this, Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran tried to build a partnership, but later got out after scoring 22 runs.
