IPL 2026 Match 32: LSG Predicted Playing XI vs RR

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 LSG’s predicted XI vs RR in Match 32:

Top order: Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Rishabh Pant (C & WK)

LSG have reshuffled the top order on a few occasions this year, but they are likely to open with Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram. Both batters have shown promise but are yet to convert starts into match-defining scores. Captain Rishabh Pant is likely to bat at number three and will look to build on his recent fluent knock against Punjab Kings.

Middle order: Matthew Breetzke, Ayush Badoni, Mukul Choudhary, Himmat Singh (Impact)

The middle order could see a potential change, with Matthew Breetzke likely to replace the out-of-form Nicholas Pooran. Ayush Badoni is expected to return to his preferred position after a brief stint as an opener. Mukul Choudhary, who impressed with a quickfire half-century earlier in the tournament, adds firepower in the lower middle order, while Himmat Singh is likely to be used as the impact substitute.

Bowlers: Mohammed Shami, Avesh Khan, Prince Yadav, Manimaran Siddharth, Mohsin Khan

In the bowling department, LSG boast a well-balanced attack led by Mohammed Shami, who has been effective with the new ball. Avesh Khan continues to be a dependable option in the death overs, while Mohsin Khan has shown encouraging signs after returning from injury. The standout performer has been Prince Yadav, who has picked up 11 wickets with impressive control and pace. Manimaran Siddharth adds variety with his spin.

Predicted LSG XI vs RR:

Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Rishabh Pant (C & WK), Matthew Breetzke, Ayush Badoni, Mukul Choudhary, Mohammed Shami, Avesh Khan, Prince Yadav, Manimaran Siddharth, Mohsin Khan

Impact Player: Himmat Singh
