What happened during LSG vs RR match?
In the absence of skipper Sanju Samson, Royals were once again led by Riyan Parag. The home side bowled well and managed to restrict LSG to just a total of 180 runs. In reply, RR openers Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal gave their side a flying start with an opening stand of 85 runs. Suryavanshi's dismissal was soon followed by Nitish Rana's to take the score to 94/2, but a partnership between Riyan Parag (39 off 26 balls) and Jaiswal stabilised the innings and ensured the result would go in the home side's favour.
Once again, it wasn't to be for RR as they were bowled out for just 9 runs in the final over by a brilliant spell from Avesh Khan.
