Pitch Report

Both captains will want to bat first after winning the toss. The history at this venue this year suggests that chasing has been difficult as the ball does a lot more under lights. The best time to bat will be the first six overs till the ball is hard and new. Once the ball goes a bit softer, the spinners and variations from the pacers come into effect, making it difficult for the batters to score.

8.5
C

Sanju Samson RR | WK

Just like his opposite number, Sanju Samson has been a huge influence on the way Rajasthan Royals have played this season. The 29-year-old has marshalled his troops well and each and every player has done well. Sanju Samson himself has led by example by scoring a few crucial runs for his side this season.

9
C

Nicholas Pooran LSG | WK

Arguably one of the top three batters in T20 cricket right now, the role that Nicholas Pooran has played this year has been exemplary. The West Indian scored a crucial 34 runs in the last game versus Chennai Super Kings to help his team comeback into the contest. Pooran has provided LSG with the needed muscle towards the back end of the innings or when the going goes tough.

7.5

Yashasvi Jaiswal RR | BAT

After a quiet first half of the IPL 2024 season with the bat, Yashasvi Jaiswal came back into top form. The young batter scored his second ever IPL ton in the game against Mumbai Indians. This was the last piece in the jigsaw for the Royals batting order as a fit and firing Yashasvi Jaiswal is a threat for any bowling attack.

8

Marcus Stoinis LSG | BAT

Not every day does a batter play such an innings that leaves the otherwise noisy Chennai crowd quiet. Marcus Stoinis scored career best 124 runs to help LSG beat the Chennai Super Kings in their own home turf while chasing a huge total on the board. The role of Stoinis with the ball will also be crucial as he more than capable bowler with the ability to pick wickets.

9

Riyan Parag RR | BAT

IPL 2024 has been the season where one can finally say that Riyan Parag has finally emerged. The youngster from Assam has been one of the leading scorers with the bat in the IPL this year. While he is yet to bowl, Riyan Parag has been amazing on the field and has taken some amazing catches to aid in his teamsā€™ dream run so far.

8.5

Quinton de Kock LSG | WK

The South African star has been his blade go quiet in the last few games of the IPL 2024 season. When in form there is no bowling unit that can stop the blazing blade of Quinton De Kock.

9

Trent Boult RR | BOWL

The Kiwi seamer has been showing the real reason why he is one of the most feared bowlers in the T20 format. Trent Boult has time and again put the opposition batters on the backfoot with crucial strikes in the first over of the game.

8

Krunal Pandya LSG | ALL

After a quiet few years with his new team, Krunal Pandya has settled in well at the Lucknow Super Giants. The 33-year-old has been his economical self with the ball and also has scored crucial runs with the bat whenever his team has needed him to do so.

7.5

Mohsin Khan

LSG | BOWL

One of the key areas where Lucknow Super Giants will be worried is their new ball bowling. Mohsin Khan hasnā€™t been the same bowler he was before suffering the injury as he seems to have lost his pace. The last few games have also seen the left-arm seamer concede a lot of runs as the batters have singled him out for run-scoring.

9

Ravichandran Ashwin

RR | ALL

It has been a huge cause of worry for a lot of cricket fans at the way Ravichandran Ashwin has bowled during this season of IPL. The 37-year-old has picked just one wicket and that came in the game versus LSG at the start of the season. If this continues, RR may act tough and look to draft in someone else to replace the veteran spinner.
