Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants will clash in the Match No. 64 of IPL 2026 to be played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. RR are battling hard for a playoff spot and can't afford to lose even a single game having lost their last three encounters. RR had a phenomenal start to the season with five wins in the first seven games, but have a serious problem lately, with them losing all their three games at home this season. RR will once again look at players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, and Dhruv Jurel to score big with the bat. Their bowling, especially in the powerplay overs, has been a huge worry. On the other hand, LSG have been knocked out of the playoff race, but are in a very good form at the moment. They have the ever-so-reliable Mitchell Marsh at his very best with back-to-back scores of huge proportions, along with Josh Inglis and a disciplined bowling attack, contributing consistently to the recent matches. The surface at Jaipur has witnessed numerous high-scoring contests with scores exceeding 220 being recorded consistently in the first innings. Chasing teams at Jaipur have been having the last laugh and this match is expected to be another run-fest with another flat batting pitch on the cards. With RR having the pressure of a must-win game and LSG having nothing to lose, a classic run fest awaits at Jaipur. At the toss, Rajasthan have won and chose to bowl first. Here's what the captains said at the toss: Yashasvi Jaiswal: "We're going to bowl first and I feel like it's a good wicket. Later on, there will be some dew, I hope. So, we are going to chase. (On being the captain) it means a lot to me and it's proud always to represent the Rajasthan Royals franchise. (on Riyan Parag) He had some hamstring injury and he'll be fine soon, I hope so. So, he's not playing this game. We have three changes. Sandy, Sushant Mishra and Lhuan-dre Pretorious come in. (on the improvements needed) I think we all are speaking to everyone and I think the mindset and attitude what we will bring out into the ground and just enjoy the game. (on their winless record in Jaipur) I think I'll just smile and enjoy the game and play. That said, I think it's a wonderful, wonderful day and we have the opportunity to play good cricket. So we are going to enjoy the game. (On Jadeja) Nothing much at the moment. Jadu bhai is recovering. He has some niggles, but he'll be fine soon." Rishabh Pant: "Pretty confident, we know this is a good wicket to bat on. Happy to either bat or bowl first. Definitely, as I said in the last few games, we have a lot to play for. As a team, we take pride and confidence in playing every match for our fans. At the same time, we want to put our best foot forward because we know we have a good team and we can do it. Aiden (Markram) is not there because he has gone (home) for his personal thing. And just one more, Shami is not playing and Mohsin is playing. Badoni comes in for Aiden."
