RR vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2024: Focus on Fit-again KL Rahul as Rajasthan Royals Host Lucknow Super Giants – News18
Last Updated: March 24, 2024, 13:03 IST
RR vs LSG Live Updates, IPL 2024, Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants: Wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul makes his return after overcoming another another fitness concern, this time quadriceps injury. Rahul was part of India’s Test series against England at home but didn’t play any role after the opening match in Hyderabad.
He will now lead Lucknow Super Giants in their opening match of IPL 2024 when they square off against hosts Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur today.
LSG captain will look to hit top gear not only as a batter but also as a leader, especially after guiding the team to successive playoffs in the first two seasons.
Rahul is likely to play purely as a batter, at least in the initial phase of IPL, but the additional burden of keeping strengthen his chances of making the T20 World Cup squad.
RR captain Sanju Samson is also a candidate for the wicket-keepers’ role in the India squad for the ICC event and he too will be keen to find his rhythm right from the start. RR came tantalisingly close to clinching a second title before Gujarat Titans broke their heart in the final in 2022. They looked good in the initial stages even last season but slipped to fifth place in the end.
Both the teams will have some tough calls to make as they figure out their best XI.
