The 63rd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is being played between the new entrants Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) on 15th May at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. Young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was batting explosively from the first ball for Rajasthan and he smashed a six of 103 meters on the bowling of Dushmanta Chameera.

Surprisingly, Sanju Samson won the toss and decided to bat first as it has been their strength in the season so far. While LSG made just one change as Ravi Bishnoi replaced Karan Sharma, RR made a couple of changes as Jimmy Neesham and Obed McCoy came in the XI to replace Rassie Van Der Duusen and Kuldeep Sen.
