RR vs LSG Predicted Playing 11 - IPL 2022 Match 20
Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants Preview
Rajasthan Royals have been brilliant in the season so far. They won their first two games but lost to RCB in the last game. They dominated most part of the game but Dinesh Karthik snatched the win for RCB from the jaws of defeat.
Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants have been phenomenal too. Having lost their first game to Gujarat Titans, they bounced back to win three consecutive games.
Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan have played well as a unit and they won't be keen on tinkering with the combination after just one loss.
Top Order
Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the innings, followed by Devdutt Padikkal. While Jaiswal has been ordinary, there are high chances that RR will give him a long run given that the team backs youngsters.
Middle Order
Sanju Samson, Shimron Heymyer and Riyan Parag will comprise the middle order. Samson and Heymyer have played some good cameos, while Parag will be keen to justify his place.
Bowlers
Rajasthan have one of the best attacks in the tournament, with players like Trent Boult, Ravi Ashwin, Prasidh Krishna and Yuzvendra Chahal. However, the team lacks an all-rounder
RR Key Players
- Jos Buttler - Buttler has been in top form in the tournament. He is the first player to score a hundred in the IPL 2022.
- Sanju Samson - Samson is another player who will be keen to make an impact. While he has played some good knocks, he hasn't kicked on to get a big one.
- Shimron Hetmyer - The southpaw can be inconsistent but can win you a lost match on his day.

| Shimron Hetmyer | 34 | 626 | 28.45 | 156.5 | 2/0 |
RR Key Bowlers
- Trent Boult - The pacer almost every time gets an early wicket to put his team in front. Same has been the case in IPL 2022 as well.
- Yuzvendra Chahal - He has been sensational for RR. He has picked wickets in heaps this season, while not leaking many runs. Every time Sanju has turned to Yuzi, he has delivered.
- Ravi Ashwin - Chahal's spin bowling partner has also been impressive. He had an off day against RCB but he is a champion bowler and will bounce back strong.

Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow has won three back to back games and there is no reason to change the winning combination.
Top Order
KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock will open the batting. De Kock stroked a blazing 50 in the last game. KL hasn't quite got going but he is a top-quality batter and is not too far away from a big score. Evin Lewis will follow the openers and will look to keep up the momentum of the innings.
Middle Order
Deepak Hooda and Ayush Badoni have been sensational in the tournament so far. The players have scored runs in crunch situations.
All-rounders
Lucknow have plenty of depth in the team with a plethora of all-rounders. The all-round duties will be taken care of by Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder and Krishnappa Gowtham.
Bowlers
Avesh Khan, Andrew Tye and Ravi Bishnoi will complete a strong team. All have contributed to LSG's success in the tournament.
LSG Key Batters
- Quinton de Kock - De Kock was due for a big one and he made up for lost opportunities in the previous game against Delhi where he scored a match-winning 80. He will be keen to carry on the momentum.
- KL Rahul - The skipper is one of the most consistent batters in the competition and despite his low scores, one can back him to come good soon.
- Deepak Hooda - Hooda has played some gems this season. He has come in and bailed Lucknow out of trouble, at the same time putting them in a commanding position.
LSG Top Team Batsman
| Batter | Matches | Runs | Average | Strike Rate | 50/100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KL Rahul | 98 | 3405 | 46.64 | 136.09 | 28/2 |

| Ayush Badoni | 4 | 102 | 51 | 156.92 | 1/0 |
LSG Key Bowlers
- Ravi Bishnoi - With the wickets getting slow, Bishnoi has become a crucial member of the team. He has bowled well and picked plenty of wickets without giving much away.
- Avesh Khan - Khan has bowled well in the last two games. With his pace, he can be expensive but will give his team crucial wickets.
- Jason Holder - Holder will share the new ball and with his pace and tall height, he can be a tricky bowler to face.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jason Holder | 28 | 38 | 22.37 | 8.19 | 4/52 |
