RR vs LSG Match Prediction: Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants kick-off their IPL 2024 campaign with the game at Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium, on Sunday March 24. This will be the first match of the day, with Mumbai Indians playing at Gujarat Giants later in the evening.
Rajasthan Royals will play three times at home in the first four games in the first phase of IPL 2024. After LSG game, Royals will host Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore on either side of the away match at Mumbai Indians. If Sanju Samson and co. make most of the home conditions, they could be off to a flyer.
MS Dhoni Stands Down As IPL Captain
Lucknow Super Giants meanwhile will play twice at home and away in the first phase. They are a good team, complemented by a solid batting and bowling line-up. But Gautam Gambhir has departed for pastures new and his absence might hurt the team. That said, team composition is more or less the same from last season. So expect them to mount a decent challenge for top-four.

Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium Pitch Report
Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium is one of those grounds where batsmen can have a field day. The pitch here produces an even bounce which is the dream scenario for the batters, while the spinners don’t get much purchase from the deck either. The only thing favoring the bowlers is the size of the ground, which is bigger than most grounds in India. The average 1st innings score here is 172 runs.
Sanju, KL and YOU! 😍

RR Probable highest scorer: Yashasvi Jaiswal
The last one year has been brilliant for Yashasvi Jaiswal. The young batter is now a mainstay in the Indian Test team which tells a lot about his talent. With 625 runs in 14 matches, he was also the highest scorer for Rajasthan in IPL 2023. He could take his numbers to even greater heights in IPL 2024.
LSG Probable Highest Scorer: KL Rahul
Who else but KL Rahul. The LSG captain will look at this season as a chance to redeem for last season when he could manage only 274 runs. He is expected to bat in the middle-order for LSG and that makes sense since he is targeting a spot in the middle over in India’s T20 squad for world cup.
RR Probable Best Bowler: Yuzvendra Chahal
The 33-year-old remains one the finest white-ball bowlers. He is RR’s x factor since his four overs, more or less, tend to be the game changer for the 2008 IPL champions. Chahal is also looking to seal down a spot in Indian’s T20 World Cup squad and this IPL season gives him a great opportunity to achieve that goal. He took 23 wickets in just games last season.
LSG Probable Best Bowler: Ravi Bishnoi
Just like Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi is another player who is a candidate for T20 World Cup. The 23-year-old has grown in stature and has become one of the main cog in LSG’s bowling lineup. He took 16 wickets in 15 games last season.
