RR vs LSG Live: Pitch report

We have a 62m and a 70m square boundary, the straight boundary is at 79m. The pitch looks brown and doesn’t have a lot of grass on it. The cracks are moving which suggests that it’s very dry. Spinners will play a big role, it’s important to get off to a good start in the first 6 overs, reckon Samuel Badree and Matthew Hayden, in their pitch report

RR vs LSG Live: LSG’s strong top-order

LSG would depend on Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stonis and Nicholas Pooran to do bulk of the scoring apart from skipper Rahul. It is going to be an interesting battle as they will have to contend with spin wizards — Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, who can run through any batting line-up on a given day.

RR vs LSG Live: RR’s strong batting line-up

RR have a solid batting line-up, boosting of the likes of in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, besides skipper Sansom. They also have a finisher in Dhruv Jurel, who made an impressive India debut in the recent five-match Test series against England. But Samson may look to strength the middle-order by bringing in West Indies’ Rovman Powell to go with countrymate Shimron Hetmyer.

RR vs LSG Live: Rahul’s return in focus

The focus will be on KL Rahul’s form and fitness when he returns from a quadriceps injury to lead the Lucknow Super Giants in their IPL opener against Rajasthan Royals. Rahul missed the last four Tests against England due to pain in his right quadriceps. He was out for four months last year after undergoing a thigh surgery. 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.
