Ravindra Jadeja is unlikely to play today•Deepak Malik/BCCI
Ravindra Jadeja is doubtful to participate, as he continues to be monitored for an elbow and knee issue that forced him to miss the previous match. There is also a cloud over Riyan Parag’s fitness due to a hamstring niggle. This, however, didn’t cause him much discomfort in the previous game as he made a half-century. Ravi Singh, who made his debut against Delhi Capitals, is also believed to be injured.
Rajasthan Royals: 1 Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2 Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 3 Dhruv Jurel, 4 Riyan Parag (capt), 5 Shimron Hetmyer, 6 Donovan Ferreira, 7 Shubham Dubey, 8 Dasun Shanaka, 9 Jofra Archer, 10 Brijesh Sharma/Sushant Mishra, 11 Tushar Deshpande, 12 Yash Raj Punja
With Aiden Markram back home for personal reasons and unavailable for LSG’s last two games, their overseas options are looking thin. The only other reserve overseas batter, Matthew Breetzke, has also left. That means LSG could realistically go into the final two matches with just three overseas players in their XII, unless they bring back George Linde. But with Shahbaz Ahmed doing well in his limited chances, the bigger question is who makes way for him?
Lucknow Super Giants: 1 Mitchell Marsh, 2 Josh Inglis, 3 Nicholas Pooran, 4 Rishabh Pant (capt, wk), 5 Abdul Samad, 6 Akshat Raghuwanshi, 7 Mukul Choudhary, 8 Shahbaz Ahmed, 9 Mohammed Shami, 10 Mayank Yadav, 11 Akash Singh, 12 Prince Yadav
