The trend of first 3 matches of the IPL 2024 season continued in the fourth match as well. Just like Chennai Super Kings, Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals too have been beaten at their home ground. They started the new season with a win. Rajasthan beat Lucknow Supergiant by 20 runs in the fourth match at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday (March 24) evening. Chasing the target of 194 runs, Lucknow was limited to just 173 runs. Nicholas Pooran (64) and captain KL Rahul (54) scored half-centuries but could not take the team to victory. Apart from these two, none of the other batsmen performed well and Lucknow was bound to lose. Earlier, Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson played an excellent innings and played a vital role in the team’s victory. In this match, Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson won the toss and decided to bat first. But the team did not get a good start. Opener Jos Buttler was dismissed in the second over. Yashaswi Jaiswal, who was in excellent form, made quick runs but could not stay at the crease for long and was dismissed by the powerplay. Captain Sanju Samson’s innings started from here. He got good support from Ryan Parag. Both of them took the team past 100 runs in 11 overs.
Samson who was bitten..
During this time captain Sanju Samson excelled with a half-century. He completed this half century in 33 balls. Ryan Parag (43), who has been in good form this season, failed to make a half-century. But he played a strong innings of 43 runs and put on a 95-run partnership with Samson. In the end, Samson combined with Dhruv Jurel to guide the team to a solid score of 193 runs. Samson scored 82 not out.

Rahul, Pooran half centuries..
In the pursuit of the target, Lucknow suffered a huge setback in the first over. As usual, the star pacer Trent Boult took the wicket early. Quinton de Kock is sent to the pavilion. Then in the third over, Devdutt Padikkal took the wicket. In the very next over, Andre Berger took the wicket of Ayush Badon. Lucknow was in trouble due to this. After that, Rahul stopped the fall of wickets along with Deepak Hooda (26). Pooran, who came to the crease after Deepak’s dismissal, batted hard. Looking at their batting, it seemed that defeat was inevitable for Rajasthan. But after Rahul’s dismissal, Marcus Stoinis also immediately went to the pavilion. With this, Lucknow was bound to lose.
