As Tushar Deshpande is struggling highly, Akash Madhwal can be a good alternative option for Rajasthan Royals. Apart from this, there is no big requirement for changes. However, Kumar Kartikeya can also be a good option for RR, and he can replace Shubham Dubey. 

LSG's top-order batters are the key to their success, while their pace-bowling unit is still growing. There is not much requirement for any alteration in the squad yet, except situation demands it.
