Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be returning to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur after nearly 4 years in the 26th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Wednesday, April 19. RR are already sitting on top of the points table and will look to make their position stronger by defeating LSG.

Meanwhile, a Sanju Samson named Ajay Rawat made a sand-art tribute for him as he is set to return to Jaipur after a long gap. Rawat decided to show his love for Samson through his beautiful art. Many fans loved this gesture of him and appreciated his art while some trolled him as they didn’t like the art. RR are on a three-match winning streak and now sitting atop in the points table. On Wednesday, they will meet a side they beat twice last year, however, it’d be interesting to see if they continue their winning run on LSG.

RR defeated GT convincingly in Ahmedabad

Meanwhile, talking about their last match, they defeated the defending champions Gujarat Titans. RR won the toss and invited GT to put runs on the scoreboard. Batting first, GT lost Wriddhiman Saha in the very first over, but the Titans steadied the ship, thereafter. Sai Sudharsan was run out by Jos Buttler, but Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill put on a fine partnership, following that.

Gill missed out on his fifty as he was caught at long-off against Sandeep Sharma. David Miller, who was dropped by Adam Zampa early in his innings, went on to score 46 runs as well. Abhinav Manohar struck a few big sixes as well. With the help of his breathtaking knock, GT managed to achieve a fighting total of 177 runs. 

Chasing the target, RR had a horrible start as they lost both their openers in the powerplay for just 4 runs. However, later, RR skipper Sanju Samson and Devdutt Padikkal steadied the innings but the latter was playing at a slow strike rate and departed after scoring 26 runs off 25 deliveries. But in the end, Shimron Hetmyer led the team to their 3rd victory of the season by 3 wickets.
