Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)
LSG had dropped Ravi Bishnoi in the previous game to strengthen the batting order by including Karan Sharma. With the move not quite working for them, the young legspinner is likely to return to the eleven.

Probable XI: Quinton de Kock (wk), KL Rahul (c), Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Ayush Badoni, Jason Holder, Dushmantha Chameera, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan.
Rajasthan Royals (RR)
R Ashwin has dismissed Quinton De Kock four times while Yuzvendra Chahal has had the better of the South African six times. De Kock has a strike rate of around 112 against these two spinners and RR will be looking to bring them out in powerplay to take early advantage of that.
Probable XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Rassie van der Dussen, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Sen.
