RR vs LSG: Why is Devdutt Padikkal Not Playing Today's Match IPL? Check Rajasthan Royals XI

The important news development coming from the Rajasthan Royals (RR) camp is that they are not playing their premier batsman Devdutt Padikkal in their sixth match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The Rajasthan Royals have performed really well in this IPL 2023 season so far as they registered brilliant victories over Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals.

RR vs LSG: Why is Devdutt Padikkal Not Playing Today’s Match IPL?

During the toss, it was revealed that Devdutt Padikkal is once again not part of the RR playing 11 for today’s RR vs LSG IPL 2023 match. However, Padikkal is absolutely fit and part of the five substitute members out of which one can be used as an Impact Player at any moment in the game. While coming in as the Impact Player during the last match against Gujarat Titans, the southpaw batsman smashed 26 runs off 25 balls that included 2 sixes and as many fours. The Rajasthan Royals are very much likely to bring him in the second innings once again here against Lucknow Super Giants.

“We are going to bowl first. It looks like a really good wicket. We are very happy to come back to Jaipur and play after 4 years. It’s all about how we react under pressure. We have a fearless attitude. We have one change. Jason comes back in for Zampa,” said Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson during the toss.
