IPL 2026: When and where to watch LSG vs RR, know all details
Lucknow, April 21
Lucknow Super Giants will take on Rajasthan Royals in Match 32 of the Indian Premier League 2026 on Wednesday at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, with both teams aiming to regain momentum at a crucial stage of the tournament.
Rishabh Pant and Co. have endured a difficult campaign so far, sitting ninth on the points table with just two wins from six matches. Their victories have come against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders, but a run of three successive defeats has stalled their progress. The hosts will be keen to arrest the slide and revive their season with a much-needed win.
In contrast, the Riyan Parag-led side has enjoyed a stronger start and currently occupy third place with four wins from six outings. After opening their campaign with four straight victories, RR have stumbled in their last two matches and will be looking to bounce back quickly to strengthen their playoff push.

RR all the way! Parag as captain has been a revelation. After two losses, the team will be hungry to get back to winning ways. Jaiswal and Jurel need to give us a solid start. Excited to watch Archer bowl at the Ekana pitch.
Thanks for the details! 7:30 PM on Star Sports and JioHotstar. Perfect timing after work. Setting a reminder. Hope it's a close contest and not a one-sided affair.
Living abroad, JioHotstar is a lifesaver for watching IPL! The timezone difference is tough but worth it for games like this. RR's middle order looks strong with Parag and Jadeja. Should be a good match.
Respectfully, the article focuses a lot on the captains but the real battle will be LSG's Indian pace attack vs RR's top order. Shami and Avesh need early wickets. Also, the Ekana stadium pitch report would have been helpful for fans.
LSG at 9th position is painful to see. They have the team on paper. Maybe they need to back the young Indian talents like Akshat Raghuwanshi more. Big game, hope the home crowd lifts them! 🇮🇳
