RAJ vs LKN Match Preview
Rajasthan Royals will take on Lucknow Super Giants in the first Super Sunday of IPL 2024. Led by Sanju Samson, Rajasthan Royals will be looking to improve their performance from the last year, where they missed out on a playoffs berth. They have probably the best opening combination in this IPL in the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler. RR also have quality spinners like R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal. They have added Rovman Powell this year to strengthen their lower middle order.
Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants will be led by KL Rahul. They finished third on the points table after the league stage in both the seasons they have played so far. LSG have plenty of allrounders in their team which can be benefecial. The loss of Mark Wood for the entire season has made their fast bowling a weaker link. They have quality overseas players like Nicholas Pooran, Marcus Stoinis, and Quinton de Kock in their squad.

- KL Rahul - KL Rahul missed the last year's IPL but is set to return this year as LSG's captain. With the bat, he has been in top form although injuries have hampered his progress.

- Trent Boult - Trent Boult will lead the Rajasthan Royals' fast bowling this year. The left-arm quick is a genuine wicket-taker with the new ball and will be crucial to RR's chances this season. In IPL, he has picked up 105 wickets in 88 matches and most of his wickets are in the powerplay.
Top Captaincy picks
- Jos Buttler - Buttler is one of the most consistent performers in T20 cricket since he has started to open the innings. He has a terrific IPL record with 3223 runs in 96 matches, where he averages 38 at a strike rate of 148.32.

Players to avoid
- Riyan Parag - The allrounder is likely to bat lower down the order and may not even to face many balls. With the impact player rule, he is unlikely to bowl. He will hardly fetch any points and can be avoided.
- Deepak Hooda - With such a long batting line-up with plenty of allrounders, Hooda might not even get to bat. His offspin is not likely to be used given the impact player rule. He can be avoided for this game.
