IPL 2026: RR vs LSG Updates: Marsh misses ton as LSG finish at 220-5

Rajasthan Royals will be led by Yashasvi Jaiswal tonight, with regular captain Riyan Parag rested due to a left hamstring niggle.

Jaiswal wastes no time after winning the toss and opts to bowl first.

Rajasthan Royals will field first in Jaipur.

It's a hot day in excess of 40°C, and conditions are set for another high-scoring match. The pitch looks flat, hard, and perfect for batting, with short enough boundaries to keep the runs flowing.

Pitch experts Eoin Morgan and Danny Morrison say this surface should produce plenty of runs, just like the only game played here this season, where 228 was scored and chased comfortably.

With tired legs and a long tournament behind them, bowlers are expected to struggle. The toss could be crucial -- teams will likely prefer to chase, and anything under 230 while batting first may not be enough.

Rajasthan Royals head into their clash against Lucknow Super Giants in Jaipur on Tuesday knowing there is no room left for error.
