IPL 2022, RR vs LSG: Rajasthan Royals crush Lucknow Super Giants to take big step towards playoffs
Rajasthan Royals innings against Lucknow Super Giants at the Brabourne Stadium on Sunday will be a perfect one. There was no standout performer, yet the Royals managed to put up a competitive 178/6 on the board. The top-scorer was opener Yashasvi Jaiswal with 41 (off 29b; 6x4, 1x6) and the other batters chipped in with useful knocks. AS IT HAPPENEDIn reply, LSG were never in the chase once Trent Boult took out Quinton de Kock and Ayush Badoni in the third over, and then Prasidh Krishna sent back KL Rahul cheaply. Deepak Hooda (59 off 39b; 5x4, 2x6) and Krunal Pandya (25 off 23b; 1x4, 1x6) added 65 for the fourth wicket, but the required run-rate kept on rising during their stay at the crease. Towards the end, Marcus Stoinis (27 off 17b; 1x4, 2x6) hit some lusty blows but it wasn't enough as LSG fell short of the target and lost by 24 runs.
