Today marks the third day of IPL 2024 tournament. Two matches of IPL 2024 will be played today. The first match will be between RR (Rajasthan Royals) and LSG (Lucknow Super Giants) while the second match will be between GT (Gujarat Titans) and MI (Mumbai Indians). The RR vs LSG match will be played at 3:30 PM today in Jaipur’s Sawai Man Singh Cricket Stadium. Meanwhile, today’s second IPL match will kick start at 7:00 PM at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
In the first match, the Lucknow giants, led by KL Rahul, will face off against Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals. While the Rajasthan team will have a lot of names to choose from, Lucknow might face a bit tension. This is due to the missing of Mark Wood and David Willey due to injuries. Notably, skipper KL Rahul is back on the pitch after recovering from the ankle injury faced during India-England series.
Further, the second match will see Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians locking horns, with Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya in the lead, respectively. Mumbai Indians will be missing out on a lot of players owing to injuries. They are Jason Behrandorff, Gerald Coetzee, and Dilshan Madhushanka. It is noteworthy mentioning that Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav is yet to get a clearance of fitness from the NCA.
