RR Playing XI vs LSG: James Neesham and Obed McCoy RETURNS in playing XI as Shimron Hetmyer is still in QUARANTINE – Follow IPL 2022 Live Updates
As it is mandatory for all to be in a three-day quarantine after rejoining bio-bubble, Shimron Hetmyer will only exit quarantine after this match, which has ruled himself out of the clash against Lucknow Super Giants.
Shimron Hetmyer played crucial knocks for Rajasthan Royals in chases and in the death overs while batting first. But the Rassie van der Dussen failed to impress in his absence, managing just 12 off 10 balls. Prior to that, Daryl Mitchell also had poor outings.

RR Playing XI vs LSG: James Neesham, Obed McCoy come in for Rassie van der Dussen and Kuldeep Sen.
- Shimron Hetmyer has been crucial for RR with 291 runs in 11 innings at an average of 72.75 and a strike rate of 166.29.
- As he is still in quarantine, Hetmyer was not available for selection.
- Daryl Mitchell has managed just 33 runs in two games with a strike rate of 75.00, which is why he was not selected.
- Rassie van der Dussen has scored 22 in three games at a strike rate of 91.67, and hence was axed from the team.
- RR management have shown faith in James Neesham, but the Kiwi all-rounder now needs to deliver with the bat.
- Besides that, Obed McCoy has replaced Kuldeep Sen.
- Neesham has played just one game and returned empty-handed. But his all-round ability will still keep RR in good stead against a quality bowling attack of Lucknow Super Giants.

RR Playing XI vs LSG:
1. Yashasvi Jaiswal
2. Jos Buttler
3. Devdutt Padikkal
4. Sanju Samson (c & wk)
5. James Neesham
6. Riyan Parag
7. Ravichandran Ashwin
8. Trent Boult
9. Prasidh Krishna
10. Yuzvendra Chahal
11. Obed McCoy
Obed McCoy given a chance in place of Kuldeep Sen, who had a lacklustre outing against Delhi Capitals. Kuldeep conceded 32 runs in 3.1 overs with an economy rate of 10.10 without any returns.
However, the key will be Jos Buttler, the Orange Cap holder. Yashasvi Jaiswal failed to fire in the last match but he will keep his place and will continue to open with Buttler. While RR were successful in their experimentation with Ravichandran Ashwin at No 3 as he scored a half-century, Devdutt Padikkal is likely to get the place. Sanju Samson has adopted a middle-order role and is likely to continue at that position.
Rajasthan Royals Squad: 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, Karun Nair, James Neesham, Navdeep Saini, KC Cariappa, Daryl Mitchell, Obed McCoy, Tejas Baroka, Kuldip Yadav, Anunay Singh, Dhruv Jurel, Shubham Garhwal, Corbin Bosch
