Yashasvi Jaiswal has emerged as one of the consistent performers for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025 season. With 233 runs from seven matches, the stylish left-hander has provided vital starts for his team at the top of the order. Jaiswal boasts an average of 33.28 and a strike rate of 138.69 this season, underlining his aggressive intent and reliability. His standout innings include a fluent 75 against Royal Challengers Bangalore and a match-winning 67 against Punjab Kings, which helped RR post a commanding total of 205/4 on route to a 50-run victory.

Heading into their match against the Lucknow Super Giants, Jaiswal will be eager to improve on a respectable, though not yet dominant, record against the opposition. In four IPL games versus LSG, he has scored 133 runs at an average of 33.25 and a strike-rate of 141.49. His highest score against them is 44, and while he is yet to notch up a fifty against LSG, his record against LSG bowlers like Avesh Khan and Shardul Thakur; against whom he has never been dismissed is a good sign.

Preview of upcoming RR vs LSG match in IPL 2025

The Rajasthan Royals are set to face the Lucknow Super Giants in Match 36 of the IPL 2025 season on Saturday, April 19, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. RR currently find themselves in eighth place on the points table, having secured only two wins from seven matches. Their recent loss in a Super Over against Delhi Capitals has added pressure to turn their season around.

As RR seek to rebound from recent defeats and stay alive in the playoff race, much will rest on Jaiswal's ability to give them a strong start. Given his current form and familiarity with the Sawai Mansingh Stadium pitch, he could be the difference-maker in what promises to be a high-stakes encounter.
