Background
Thank you for joining us on ABP Live's Live Coverage of match number 5 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 where ultimately it was the Rajasthan Royals (RR) who beat the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 20 runs. While RR started the season with Sanju Samson, someone who has been with them for quite some time now, at the helm of affairs, LSG have been bolstered with the return of KL Rahul who was ruled out midseason last year with an injury.
There was an amazing bunch of young and experienced players on display in this match with youngsters like Jasiwal and Padikkal on one hand while experienced campaigners like Buttler and De Kock on the other. In the bowling department, focus was on RR's Yuzvendra Chahal and R Ashwin- the two spinners who were the top two highest wicket-takers for the team last season with Chahal topping Ashwin's tally. For Lucknow, Ravi Bishnoi was oustanding while Boult from RR also made a mark.
With the T20 World Cup also in sight, this season will be an opportunity for several players to leave a final impression on the selectors before squads are announced for the marquee ICC event in June.
All in all, the stage was set for a riveting cricket contest between a side that has not the competition since the inaugural edition in 2008 and one that started in 2022 and reached playoffs in each of the two seasons that it has appeared in so far where ultimatley it was the hosts who emerged victorious.
