Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants Highlights, IPL 2025: Avesh Khan weaved his magic with the ball as LSG edged past RR by 2 runs in a last-ball thriller at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur on Saturday. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 74 off 52 for RR in the chase of 181 but Avesh's 3 for 37 overshadowed it. Earlier, Aiden Markram scored 66 runs off 45 balls while Ayush Badoni hit 50 off 34 as LSG posted 180 for 5 after their captain Rishabh Pant won the toss and opted to bat first. Abdul Samad's late blitzkrieg (30 not out off 10 balls) that included four sixes in the final over bowled by Sandeep Sharma also helped LSG's cause. For RR, Wanindu Hasaranga was the pick of the bowlers, returning figures of 2 for 31 in his quota of four overs. This was RR's fourth consecutive defeat in IPL 2025. (Scorecard)
Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants, IPL 2025 match Highlights
- 23:20 (IST)RR vs LSG Live: Lucknow Super Giants win!!!Avesh Khan has won it for Lucknow Super Giants! He nails a yorker in the final ball too and only a single comes off it. LSG have won this game by a narrow margin of two runs. What a victory this is for them! RR, on the other hand, have suffered a fourth successive loss.
- 22:23 (IST)RR vs LSG Live: WICKET!Nitish Rana is gone! Poor batting this is from Rana and really smart bowling from Shardul Thakur. The pacer troubled the southpaw on the previous delivery with a bouncer that went over the wicketkeeper's head for a six for taking a top-edge and persisted with the plan. Rana ended up hitting the next ball into the hands of the fielder at deep backward square leg.
- 21:44 (IST)RR vs LSG Live: Suryavanshi riding his luck!Vaibhav Suryavanshi is lucky this time. His catch has been dropped at mid-wicket. To add insult to injury of Lucknow Super Giants, that raced away for a four. A total of 13 runs came off the Avesh Khan over as Suryavanshi had slammed the second ball of the over for a six.
- 21:01 (IST)RR vs LSG Live: OUT!Ayush Badoni is gone right after scoring his fifty. He scored his half-century in 33 balls and got out off the very next ball. Tushar Deshpande bowled a short ball outside off-stump and Badoni slammed it right into the hands of Shubman Dubey at deep point. LSG are five down.
- 20:01 (IST)RR vs LSG Live: Decision overturned!Another Sandeep Sharma delivery hit Rishabh Pant on the front foot but umpire was unconvinced with an LBW appeal. RR decided to go upstairs only to lose a review as UltraEdge revealed that Pant had got a nick there. It happened on the fourth ball of the over. 5 runs and a wicket came off the over.
