RR vs LSG, IPL 2025: Avesh Khan saves 9 in final over to power LSG to thrilling win

Rajasthan Royals suffered their fourth consecutive loss in IPL 2025. Lucknow Super Giants now join the leaders with 10 points.

RR vs LSG, IPL 2025: Avesh Khan saved 9 runs in the final over to condemn Rajasthan Royals to their fourth consecutive loss in a row. RR were cruising with 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal posting an 85-run opening stand. While Vaibhav departed for 34, Jaiswal continued to score 74. However, Avesh Khan bowled a brilliant final over, giving away just 6 runs to seal a 2-run win. Lucknow Super Giants have set a 181-run target for Rajasthan Royals. All credits to Ayush Badoni’s fighting 50 after Aiden Markram’s 65 and Abdul Samad’s 10-ball 30 that took them to 180/5. Lucknow started poorly as they were 54/3 in 7.4 overs. But Ayush Badoni scored a fifty to steady the ship. Earlier, LSG skipper Rishabh Pant won the toss and opted to bat first. He included speedster Mayank Yadav as the impact sub, while RR led by Riyan Parag, brought in 14-year-old wonder, Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch Report

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium has transformed from a traditionally slow pitch to a more balanced one, favouring both batsmen and bowlers. While chasing has been successful here in the past, captains might want to consider batting first to avoid the pressure of chasing a target in what could be thrilling conditions. The average first-innings score here is around 161.71, so teams will need to play disciplined cricket to post a competitive total.
