In a rare slow-burn Indian Premier League (IPL) contest, Rajasthan Royals defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 40 runs at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Wednesday (April 22, 2026) by successfully defending this season’s lowest total.
After the Royals managed just 159, Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger reduced the Super Giants to 31 for three in the PowerPlay, as Ayush Badoni, Rishabh Pant and Aiden Markram fell for ducks.
