Rajasthan Royals will be looking to get their season back on track when they take on Lucknow Super Giants in their seventh match of the IPL 2026 season at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.

The LSG vs RR IPL 2026 match on April 22 will start at 7:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST) and will be available to watch on live streaming and live telecast.

After a bright start to their campaign, the inaugural champions hit a minor roadblock with back-to-back defeats away from home against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders.

RR captain Riyan Parag will expect a response from his side as the Royals look to regain the early-season momentum.

The Royals began their campaign with home victories against Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati and also beat Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad.

Lucknow Super Giants will also enter the contest on Wednesday on the back of a losing run that’s seen them come up short in each of their last three games.
