What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for RR vs LSG, IPL 2023, Match 26?

Top Pick – Batter

Shimron Hetmyer is proving time and time again that he is an ultimate finisher for Rajasthan Royals with his inspirational knock of unbeaten 56* runs against Gujarat Titans. Overall in this tournament, he has struck 183 runs at a strike rate of 184.84.

Top Pick – All-Rounder

Marcus Stoinis is playing purely as a batter for Lucknow Super Giants as he hasn’t bowled a single over in this IPL. In 5 matches, he has notched 123 runs at an average of 30.75.

Top Pick – Bowler

Yuzvendra Chahal continues to hunt for wickets with his leg breaks. In the last 5 matches, he has scalped 11 wickets with the best figures of 4 for 17.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Sanju Samson showed his wide range of power-hitting skills in the last game against Gujarat Titans where he scored 60 runs from 32 balls. He took on champion bowler Rashid Khan and hit 3 consecutive sixes in the 13th over which was one of the main highlights of the match.

X-Factor:

Jos Buttler was put under pressure by the Gujarat Titans bowlers which forced him to play a loose stroke early on in the innings and he got dismissed for a no-score. He is still the leading run-scorer for the Royals in this IPL with 204 runs in 5 matches.

Pre-Match Analysis:

Rajasthan Royals are using their resources pretty well however there are still some areas they need to look upon to improve. They ended their 3 matches losing streak against Gujarat Titans by cracking the run-chase on Sunday with 3 wicket win. A half-century from skipper Sanju Samson kept them in the hunt and later it was an improbable innings from designated finisher Shimron Hetmyer who won the game for them in the final over. They found a perfect replacement for injured Prasidh Krishna in the form of Sandeep Sharma who is turning things for them with the ball. They are not reliant on their top order as evidence to that their middle order did an exceptional job against defending champions. With 4 wins and a loss, they are at the top of the standings with 8 points.

Lucknow Super Giants looked a tad off-color with the bat against Punjab Kings and paid a huge price as they lost the match by 2 wickets. They still remain 2nd in the standings with 6 points. Lokesh Rahul’s anchoring knock of 74 runs seemed like a good one on the score card however doesn’t win games every time. Mark Wood and Ravi Bishnoi are challenging the batters with their pace and spin respectively, picking up 19 wickets between them in this tournament. Deepak Hooda hasn’t been at his best and managed to score only 37 runs in 5 innings and his spot in the side is in danger at the moment. There are still no signs of Quinton de Kock as Kyle Mayers averaging 33.6 in the last 5 outings. They need to overcome all the challenges and play to their strengths.
