BADSHAHBOOK: The 26th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 took place on April 19, 2023, between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Lucknow, after winning the toss, decided to choose bat first. However, their performance was sub-par, as they only managed to score 154/7.

However, the middle-order batters struggled to score runs quickly, making it difficult for the team to keep up with the required run rate. Despite a late onslaught from Devdutt Paddikal, RR was unable to secure the win.
With 19 runs required from the final over, the pressure was on Riyan Parag and Paddikal to seal the game for Rajasthan. However, Avesh Khan bowled a tight over, giving away just eight runs while taking two wickets, securing the victory for Lucknow Super Giants.
Overall, the match was a thrilling display of top-class cricket, with both teams putting up a strong fight. Lucknow emerged victorious thanks to their excellent bowling performance, which ensured they defended a sub-par total.
