RR vs LSG: LSG playing XI vs RR, match 4, IPL 2024 - Predicted

Fourth match of IPL 2024 will see a RR vs LSG clash in Jaipur on Sunday, March 24.

It’s time for another big game on Sunday afternoon. The inaugural IPL winners, Rajasthan Royals (RR), will take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the fourth game of the IPL 2024. Both teams are searching for a good season. KL Rahul will be back for Lucknow, and it will surely strengthen the batting unit of Lucknow.

However, he is likely to bat in the middle order, and the team needs to look for the batting combination at the top. LSG have done well in the last two seasons, with two appearances in playoffs. But they will have to start well. Here we will talk about predicted playing 11 for Lucknow in the RR vs LSG game on Sunday.

RR vs LSG: Lucknow’s predicted playing 11 vs RR

1. Quinton de Kock

Quinton de Kock will be back in action, and LSG will have high hopes for him. The southpaw is one of the strongest batters in this lineup and will look to start the tournament with a good performance. He is an attacking batter, but his ability to take the innings longer makes him a dangerous batter for the opposition.

2. Devdutt Padikkal

With KL Rahul batting in the middle order, we might see Devdutt Padikkal bat at the top. It will be a brilliant scenario for the left-hander because he was with RR for the last two seasons but didn’t get many chances. That will be in his mind because he knows about their bowlers, and it can help him perform on Sunday.

3. Deepak Hooda

Deepak Hooda has been a consistent batter at the top for LSG. He will give the team a right-handing option at the top if Rahul bats in the middle. Hooda has been a seasonal campaigner and has played for the Rajasthan Royals as well. It is always an encouraging moment when you perform against your old franchise, and Hooda can turn it on on Sunday.

4. Nicholas Pooran

Nicholas Pooran is in the form of his life, and he had a brilliant season for LSG in 2023. He is one of those batters who can hit a six from the very first ball, which makes him a difficult batter to bowl to. His attacking mindset is likely to be the same on Sunday, and he will look to start the IPL 2024 with a bang.

5. KL Rahul (C)

We might see skipper KL Rahul at No. 5, where he also bats for India in white-ball cricket. He is a brilliant batter, and scoring runs for fun in the IPL is one of his strengths. Him coming in the middle order will provide his team with depth, and he will be a massive wicket for RR.

6. Marcus Stoinis

Marcus Stoinis at No. 6 is what a team can expect. The big all-rounder is a powerful striker of the ball who can tear apart any bowling attack. He will come in the middle overs and can take on RR spinners. Adding to that, his bowling will be very effective as per the conditions on Jaipur afternoon.

7. Krunal Pandya

Krunal Pandya is another core batter for LSG who has been doing well for them. He led the team last season when Rahul got injured and had a decent success. He has been playing well as a finisher for this team, and that’s how he has adapted himself. Adding to that, his ability to restrict the batter from scoring will be a challenge for RR.

8. Ravi Bishnoi

Ravi Bishnoi will be the one bowler whom Rahul will use very wisely. It is because he is a wicket-taker who has a great head on his shoulder. He turns the ball at a pretty good speed, which makes it hard to hit him. And if that is the case on Sunday, RR will be having big trouble.

9. Shivam Mavi

Shivam Mavi is expected to make his debut for LSG on Sunday. He is a pretty good new ball bowler who hits the deck hard. His length and line are always at the stumps, which makes it difficult to get him away. His opening burst can help LSG take early wickets, and RR is heavily dependent on their top order.

10. Naveen-ul-Haq

Naveen-ul-Haq is coming off a successful international stint and has been pretty effective for LSG. His accuracy and ability to bowl different kinds of slow balls make him a dangerous bowler. He will be used mainly in the backend, and he is masterful at restricting the batters.

11. Mohsin Khan

Mohsin Khan is one bowler to watch out for. The tall left-arm pacer has speed and accuracy, and he has been successful for his team. An economy of around 7 speaks a lot for a fast bowler. He can be a dangerous customer to handle for RR batters.
