]IPL 2026 Points Table: Rajasthan Royals all-round performance helps them win over Lucknow Super Giants
by K D Mishra
RR beat LSG by 40 runs in match 32 of IPL 2026 at Ekana Stadium. It was a tough start for RR, as they lost 3 wickets for just 32 runs. However, a good performance from an unbeaten 43 from Ravindra Jadeja and some fast scoring from Shubham Dubey got RR to 159/6.
It was also a poor beginning for LSG and they continued losing wickets throughout their chase. LSG's only positive aspect was the contribution of 55 runs from Mitchell Marsh. The bowling of Jofra Archer was fantastic and he bagged 3 wickets. LSG could manage only 119 runs before getting all-out in 18 overs. RR came second in the points table, while LSG were in ninth position after this game.
