IPL 2022, Lucknow Super Giants Predicted XI vs Rajasthan Royals: Will Lucknow Super Giants Tinker With Winning Combination?

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), captained by KL Rahul, will enter their match against Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday with immense confidence after a last-over win against Delhi Capitals (DC) in their previous IPL 2022 game. The crucial victory over DC will encourage KL Rahul to maintain the same playing XI and combination for this game. With the likes of Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni and Krunal Pandya forming a strong and an in-form middle-order, Rahul can rely on the same batting stars to get the desired result and move ahead with utmost confidence. In the bowling department, Ravi Bishnoi and Avesh Khan's brilliant recent performances mean LSG are in safe hands.

KL Rahul: Skipper Rahul has started off on a sound note with both the bat as well as the captaincy part. In four matches so far, Rahul has scored 132 runs, including a brilliant half-century and has led his team to three back-to-back wins after losing their opener.

Quinton de Kock: De Kock sprung back to form in LSG's last game against DC. He top-scored in the match with a magnificent knock of 80 runs off 52 balls.

Evin Lewis: With only 71 runs in 4 matches so far, Lewis hasn't had the best of starts to an IPL season. However, Rahul is expected to give Lewis another go, keeping in mind the immense potential the West Indian has to offer.

Deepak Hooda: The hard-hitter missed out in the last game vs DC and will be aiming to get back to his explosive best. Hooda has a strike-rate of 136.84 and has looked to be in control in the 4 games he has played for LSG so far.

Ayush Badoni: Badoni has clearly been the find of IPL 2022. The youngster has embraced the stage with full confidence and provides Rahul with the flexibility in the middle-order.
