LSG vs RR IPL 2026: Jadeja and Archer Power Rajasthan Royals to Win Over Lucknow Super Giants

Rajasthan Royals returned to winning form in IPL 2026 with a commanding 40-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.

A composed unbeaten 43 from Ravindra Jadeja steadied Rajasthan Royals after a shaky start, guiding them to a competitive total of 159/6 on the scoreboard.

The Royals bowlers put on a disciplined effort to defend the modest total despite Mitchell Marsh’s first fifty of the season briefly threatening to undo their good work. Jofra Archer was the star of the show with figures of 3/20.

The win also ended Rajasthan Royals’ two-game losing run after they had begun the season with four consecutive victories.

Asked to bat first, the Royals made a steady start as Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal found the gaps consistently to keep the scoreboard ticking with boundaries.
