Here's Pratyush Sinha from the Pink City, "Hello from Jaipur! A warm, slightly cloudy evening this, so dew might not be a huge factor today. Although there has been consistent dew in the days leading up to this game. Joe Root, KM Asif and Jos Buttler passing around the football amid cheers from the crowd. Ashwin, bowling from both round and over the wicket, seems to be extracting some sharp spin on the side wickets."

6:20pm Match 26 of IPL 2023. Rajasthan Royals versus the Lucknow Super Giants. The team perched at the top of the points table against the side placed a rung below. Sanju Samson, who has earned rave reviews for his belligerent brand of batting up against KL Rahul, whose batting approach has, like previous years, already evoked plenty of debate. A side that is yet to play at their home ground in Jaipur against a team that has scored more than 200 in both of its away games.

Are u tagless ? Can’t tag u 🤔

Pitch Report | Sanjay Manjrekar and Nick Knight: "No tall stands, so there's a bit of a breeze factor. Pretty substantial breeze that's blowing across, it might come into play. This is not a dead-centre pitch on this ground. (Square boundaries) 62m short boundary, 68m on the other side, but straight is 70 and upwards (78m). If you're going to hit straight, make sure you've got a lot of power behind the shot. So there's an incentive to play cross-batted on this pitch. I find this pitch on the harder side. It might be a little bit two-paced as well. There's a nice covering of grass. It might skid on a little. I don't think we'll see a lot of bounce. Doesn't look like a turner. First half of the game may be something for the spinners. Win the toss, you want to bowl first on this surface."

LSG come into this match on the back of a 2-wicket loss at the hands of Punjab. Quinton de Kock unable to get into the XI is a testament to Lucknow's batting prowess. Their four main batters - Mayers, KL Rahul, Pooran and Stoinis - have scored at least one half-ton this season. While the three overseas batsmen have strike-rates in excess of 150, the others have struggled in that aspect. Deepak Hooda is yet to make an impact, he's been dismissed in single digits in his last 4 outings and has bowled just one over. In the bowling department, Yudhvir Singh Charak had a dream debut but Avesh Khan and Unadkat have been expensive. Lucknow might have erred with some of their tactics against PBKS but they'll be keen to get back to winning ways. 

RR are on a roll, winning three on the bounce. Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal had done the bulk of the scoring but the Royals hunted down Gujarat's 177 in their previous outing with hardly any contributions from their openers. Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer notched up fine fifties. While the former smashed three successive sixes off Rashid Khan, the latter remained unbeaten till the end to take his team over the line. In fact, the Guyanese has been in great touch this season - scoring 183 runs at a SR of 184.85. The bowling unit seems to be well-oiled as well.
