IPL 2026 Match 32: RR Predicted Playing XI vs LSG

The Match 32 of the Indian Premier League 2026 will see Lucknow Super Giants take on Rajasthan Royals on April 22 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. LSG have struggled for consistency this season and currently sit ninth on the table with two wins from six matches. 

Despite victories over Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders, they have lost their last three encounters and will be desperate to return to winning ways. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals are placed third with four wins in six matches. After a strong start with four consecutive victories, they too have suffered back-to-back losses and will aim to regain momentum.

Here is RR’s predicted XI vs LSG in Match 32:

Top Order: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (Impact Player), Dhruv Jurel (WK)

At the top, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi have formed one of the most productive opening pairs this season. Jaiswal has accumulated 223 runs in six innings, while Sooryavanshi has gone a step further with 246 runs in the same number of matches. Both batters have registered two half-centuries each and have consistently provided aggressive starts. Dhruv Jurel slots in at number three and has been equally reliable, scoring 181 runs, including two fifties, while also contributing behind the stumps.

Middle order: Riyan Parag (C), Shimron Hetmyer, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja

The middle order, however, remains an area of concern. Captain Riyan Parag has struggled for rhythm, managing just 61 runs so far. Shimron Hetmyer has also failed to make a significant impact, with only 39 runs in four innings. Donovan Ferreira has shown glimpses of promise with 77 runs in three innings but is yet to deliver a defining knock. One of the positives for RR has been the presence of Ravindra Jadeja, who has contributed effectively as an all-rounder. With 85 runs and five wickets to his name, Jadeja has added balance to the side and played a key role, including a notable performance against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Bowlers: Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Sandeep Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi, Brijesh Sharma

The bowling attack has been a major strength for Rajasthan. Jofra Archer has led the pace unit impressively with eight wickets in six matches and has made an impact early, including multiple first-ball dismissals. Nandre Burger has provided solid support with six wickets. In the spin department, Ravi Bishnoi has been exceptional, picking up 10 wickets and controlling the middle overs. Sandeep Sharma has chipped in with five wickets through disciplined bowling, while Brijesh Sharma has also contributed with three wickets.

Predicted RR XI vs LSG:

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Riyan Parag (C), Shimron Hetmyer, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Brijesh Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi, Sandeep Sharma

Impact Player: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
