IPL 2025: RR vs LSG Match 36 Overview – Pitch Report, Playing XI & Head-to-Head
2 min read
Rajasthan Royals (RR) host Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 36 of the ongoing IPL 2025 at their home ground, Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, on Saturday, April 19.
RR is in eighth position on the points table, with just two wins from the seven matches they’ve played, where they have lost their last three games in a row. In their previous match against DC, they were on the verge of victory, but the final over turned the game upside down, leading to a tie where RR unfortunately lost in the Super Over. The team will be eager to make a strong comeback in this match.
Meanwhile, LSG is in fifth place on the points table, with four wins out of seven matches. They were on a three-match winning streak, but lost their previous match against CSK. However, a crucial knock of 63 off 49 balls by captain Rishabh Pant was a positive sign of his return to form, giving the team renewed hope in their push for a playoff spot this season.
