Their Playoff hopes hanging by a thread, the Rajasthan Royals will need an all-round improvement against the out-of-contention Lucknow Super Giants to stay alive in the IPL here on Tuesday.
At the high-scoring Sawai Mansingh Stadium, RR are yet to win a game this season and the final fixture here is a do-or-die one for the home team. Following Tuesday’s fixture, RR’s last game is also against a vanquished outfit — Mumbai Indians.
