Topmost Picks for RR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Rajasthan Royals

• Jos Butler – The Englishmen has been in stellar form and is one of the favorites to win the orange cap this year. Having scored more than 800 runs last season, he is well on course to repeat his heroics.
• Yuzvendra Chahal – He has taken 11 wickets in 5 games and is leading all the bowlers in the race to win the purple cap at the moment.

Top Picks – Lucknow Super Giants

• KL Rahul – After a dry spell in international cricket, KL Rahul seems to have finally arrived when his team needs him the most. He is entering Match 26 after scoring his first half-century of the IPL 2023 against PBKS.
• Mark Wood – Since the first game for LSG, Wood has been exceptional with his performance with the new ball and even in the death. He is entering Match 23 after taking 2 wickets in the team’s previous encounter.

RR vs LSG Probable Winners:

For Match 26, we are siding with the bookmakers and choosing Rajasthan Royals to emerge victorious against Lucknow Super Giants. Although the bowling is strong on both sides with what we have witnessed previously, LSG’s batting order has succumbed under pressure. And RR’s bowling unit is surely going to test them throughout the course of 20 overs. Moreover, if the like of Samson and Butler fire, RR are likely to turn this contest into a one-sided affair. Considering the team combination, Rajasthan Royals are expected to win this match.
