Pitch Report
Captains
The 32-year-old has been in impressive during the ongoing IPL 2024 season with the bat and also with the gloves. KL Rahul has impressed everyone with his captaincy as well with his cool and composed nature of handling his team.
Just like his opposite number, Sanju Samson has been a huge influence on the way Rajasthan Royals have played this season. The 29-year-old has marshalled his troops well and each and every player has done well. Sanju Samson himself has led by example by scoring a few crucial runs for his side this season.
Arguably one of the top three batters in T20 cricket right now, the role that Nicholas Pooran has played this year has been exemplary. The West Indian scored a crucial 34 runs in the last game versus Chennai Super Kings to help his team comeback into the contest. Pooran has provided LSG with the needed muscle towards the back end of the innings or when the going goes tough.
