LSG vs RR Head to Head Record IPL 2026 | RR Leads 4-2 in 6 Meetings
The LSG vs RR head to head record in IPL tells a clear story — Rajasthan Royals have dominated this rivalry since its first edition in 2022. Across 6 IPL meetings, RR have won 4 and LSG have managed just 2 victories. What makes the LSG vs RR head to head record even more one-sided is the venue factor — at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, LSG have played RR once and lost. They have never beaten Rajasthan Royals on their home ground.
Both teams enter April 22 on losing streaks. LSG have dropped 3 consecutive matches and sit 8th on the points table with 4 points from 6 games. RR won their first 4 matches but have since lost 2 in a row. The LSG vs RR head to head context, combined with current form, makes this one of the most evenly contested matches of the week despite the lopsided historical record.

LSG vs RR Head to Head Record Key takeaway: The closest match in LSG vs RR head to head history. Jaiswal’s 74 nearly completed the chase alone. Parag’s failure under pressure in the final over is a pattern that has continued into IPL 2026. Avesh Khan’s final over defence was the decisive moment.

LSG vs RR Head to Head Record | LSG: 6 matches — Won 2, Lost 4. 3 consecutive losses. Only team in IPL 2026 without a 200+ total.
Key observations:
- Pant scored 68* against DC at Ekana but has been inconsistent everywhere else — SR of 122.4 is poor for a T20 captain
- Pooran has produced just 51 runs in 6 innings at a strike rate of 80 — the worst performer in LSG’s batting unit
- Badoni has been LSG’s best middle-order contributor — his 54* against KKR was a match-winning knock
- Markram is the most technically correct batter but lacks explosive ability to score above 150 strike rate

LSG vs RR Head to Head Record | RR: 6 matches — Won 4, Lost 2. Top-3 (Sooryavanshi, Jaiswal, Jurel) contribute 71% of all RR runs.
Key observations:
- Sooryavanshi is the most destructive opener in IPL 2026 — 236.53 strike rate with 200+ runs. His only failure was a golden duck vs SRH
- Jaiswal is the most consistent batter in this fixture — 435 IPL 2026 runs at 179.75 SR
- Parag has scored just 65 runs in 6 matches at SR 89 — the worst performer in the batting unit and the biggest selection concern
- Hetmyer and Jadeja averaging below 115 SR shows RR’s middle order weakness remains unsolved

RR Batters vs LSG Bowlers — Direct Matchup Data
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi vs LSG Bowlers
| LSG Bowler | Balls | Runs | Wickets | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mohammed Shami | 0 | 0 | 0 | First ever meeting |
| Avesh Khan | 6 | 14 | 0 | Sooryavanshi — 233 SR |
| Prince Yadav | 4 | 12 | 0 | Sooryavanshi aggressive |
| M Siddharth | 3 | 18 | 0 | Sooryavanshi — 600 SR vs spin |
Analysis: Sooryavanshi and Shami have never faced each other in professional cricket. This is the most unpredictable battle of the match. Sooryavanshi hit Jasprit Bumrah for two sixes in one over this season — Shami’s accuracy on Ekana’s seaming surface is his only weapon. If Shami finds early movement, this becomes the game’s defining wicket.
Yashasvi Jaiswal vs LSG Bowlers
| LSG Bowler | Balls | Runs | Wickets | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mohammed Shami | 18 | 28 | 1W | Shami — dismissed once, SR 155 |
| Avesh Khan | 14 | 22 | 1W | Competitive |
| M Siddharth | 12 | 19 | 0 | Jaiswal — comfortable vs spin |
| Prince Yadav | 8 | 14 | 0 | Jaiswal — reads pace well |
Analysis: Shami has dismissed Jaiswal once and held his strike rate to just 155 — well below Jaiswal’s IPL 2026 average of 179. On Ekana’s seaming surface, Shami’s ability to extract movement makes this the most important powerplay contest. If Shami removes Jaiswal early, RR’s chase structure collapses.
Dhruv Jurel vs LSG Bowlers
| LSG Bowler | Balls | Runs | Wickets | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Avesh Khan | 12 | 18 | 1W | Avesh — dismissed once |
| M Siddharth | 6 | 8 | 1W | Siddharth — spin dismissal |
| Mohammed Shami | 8 | 14 | 0 | Jurel — handles pace |
| Prince Yadav | 5 | 10 | 0 | Even |
Analysis: Jurel bats at No. 3 for RR and faces the pitch in its most variable phase — overs 5-12. Both Avesh and Siddharth have dismissed him. Siddharth’s off-spin on a slow Ekana surface creates the angle that pins Jurel lbw. This middle-over battle will determine whether RR’s top order can convert starts into big scores.
Riyan Parag vs LSG Bowlers
| LSG Bowler | Balls | Runs | Wickets | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M Siddharth | 14 | 12 | 2W | Siddharth — 2 dismissals |
| Mohammed Shami | 10 | 8 | 1W | Shami — dismissed once |
| Prince Yadav | 6 | 6 | 1W | Prince — dismissed once |
| Avesh Khan | 8 | 9 | 0 | Even |
Analysis: Parag is already in terrible form in IPL 2026 — 65 runs at SR 89 in 6 matches. Siddharth has dismissed him twice across their head-to-head encounters, and the slow Ekana pitch amplifies off-spin danger for a right-hander who gets into trouble against spin. Parag is the highest flop risk on the RR side for today’s fantasy selection.
LSG Batters vs RR Bowlers — Direct Matchup Data
Rishabh Pant vs RR Bowlers
| RR Bowler | Balls | Runs | Wickets | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ravi Bishnoi | 38 | 43 | 2W | Bishnoi — 2 dismissals, SR 113 |
| Jofra Archer | 14 | 18 | 1W | Archer — dismissed once |
| Ravindra Jadeja | 22 | 31 | 0 | Pant — comfortable vs Jadeja |
| Nandre Burger | 10 | 14 | 0 | Pant — handles swing |
Analysis: Bishnoi has dismissed Pant twice in their head-to-head and held his strike rate to just 113 — remarkable considering Pant’s natural aggression. Ekana’s slow surface gives Bishnoi additional grip and turn. This is the defining individual battle of this match. If Bishnoi gets Pant early in the middle overs, LSG’s innings loses its engine.
Mitchell Marsh vs RR Bowlers
| RR Bowler | Balls | Runs | Wickets | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jofra Archer | 18 | 26 | 1W | Archer — dismissed once, SR 144 |
| Ravindra Jadeja | 14 | 18 | 1W | Jadeja — dismissed once |
| Ravi Bishnoi | 16 | 22 | 0 | Marsh — plays leg-spin well |
| Nandre Burger | 12 | 20 | 0 | Marsh — comfortable vs swing |
Analysis: Archer has dismissed Marsh once across their T20 head-to-head. This is the mini-Ashes battle of the powerplay — Marsh opening for LSG facing Archer’s 145 km/h deliveries on a surface that provides carry. Marsh’s strike rate of 144 against Archer shows he can handle pace, but one early wicket here sets the tone for LSG’s innings.
Aiden Markram vs RR Bowlers
| RR Bowler | Balls | Runs | Wickets | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ravi Bishnoi | 20 | 24 | 1W | Bishnoi — dismissed once |
| Ravindra Jadeja | 18 | 22 | 0 | Markram — handles spin |
| Jofra Archer | 12 | 18 | 0 | Markram — comfortable vs pace |
| Nandre Burger | 8 | 14 | 0 | Markram — handles swing |
Analysis: Markram is the most technically complete batter in LSG’s lineup. He handles both pace and spin with composure. Bishnoi has dismissed him once but Markram’s ability to rotate strike and pick the right ball to attack makes him a reliable anchor on Ekana’s slow surface. He is LSG’s most dependable run-scorer in the middle overs.
