Watch: Rajasthan Royals' Avesh Khan highlights areas that team needs to work on | IPL

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Khan was glad that the team has been bowling well in the tournament.&nbsp;

Rajasthan Royals are nearly invincible, having come up against almost all teams at least once, the table-toppers have endured a solitary loss so far in the tournament.&nbsp; But that has not stopped the Royals' players from being self-critical. After skipper Sanju Samson reiterated sticking to the processes as mistakes tend to happen in T20 cricket, bowler Avesh Khan was also all-praise for his team but with a lesson in learning as well.&nbsp; Speaking at the post-match press conference, Khan was glad that the team has been bowling well as he highlighted how Trent Boult has been scalping wickets in the early overs and how Sandeep Sharma's has improved post-injury.&nbsp; But in the same breath he did not fail to point out the inconsistencies in Rajasthan's bowling during the middle overs, a point also brought up by Samson after the match.&nbsp; 'In slog overs too, we are putting up a good show but we feel we are still lacking in 6-16 over phase and that we can do better as a bowling unit during those overs. Whenever we have a team meeting, we will surely discuss it,' Khan told reporters.&nbsp; When asked about the big scoring games this season, Khan remarked, 'When one looks for excuses, your point of view is different. But when you back yourself, you see things differently. I admit that runs have been leaking in excess but as a bowler if you are confident and try to execute your skills, it is okay if you are hit for a six or a boundary on a good delivery.'&nbsp; He went on to add, 'I know that wickets are flatter, the impact player rule is in place and boundaries are also smaller but as a bowler if you back yourself, you will be successful because IPL is such a platform where you cannot perform well in all 14 games (of league stages), you are going to get smacked in 4-5 games. So, it is better to accept it and give it your 100% then results will be in your favour even more.'&nbsp;

Rajasthan Royals extended its lead at the top of the points table by 6 points more than the second-placed Kolkata Knight Riders.

IPL 2024: Samson, Jurel boss run-chase as table-toppers RR march to victory against LSG

Rajasthan Royals extended its lead at the top of the points table by 6 points more than the second-placed Kolkata Knight Riders.

Rajasthan Royals continued their winning run as skipper Sanju Samson led RR to a 7-wicket victory against Lucknow Super Giants in match 44 of IPL 2024.
After losing the toss and being invited to bat first, Rahul and Hooda gave LSG a solid footing with a 62-ball 115-run stand for the third wicket after early blows.&nbsp;
Rahul&rsquo;s 48-ball 76 with eight fours and two sixes was his fourth fifty of the season while Hooda banished his poor string of scores to make his first big score this IPL.
Ashwin applied the breaks on LSG&rsquo;s progress and ended his drought of wickets in this IPL, picking up only his second wicket to have Hooda caught at wide long-on by Rovman Powell.
The skewed boundary lengths at Ekana came into play when Sandeep surprised Nicholas Pooran (11) with a short ball that climbed on the batter, and the top edge flew straight into the hands of a waiting Boult at the deep backward square leg and in the end, LSG managed to set a target of 197 runs.
Coming to the RR chase, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal made full use of the powerplay overs and the visitors posted 60 runs with Jos Buttler losing his wicket in the 6th over.
Yashasvi Jaiswal quickly followed Buttler and Amit Mishra dismissed the in-form Riyan Parag to bring LSG back into the match but Skipper Sanju Samson played a captain knock of 71 and was well supported by Dhruv Jurel, who bit under the pump before this game for his string of low scores as the duo added 121 runs for the 4th wicket to take Rajasthan Royals over the line with one over remaining and with this victory,

Kolkata Knight Riders also named Afghan player Allah Ghazanfar -- a 16-year-old off-spinner -- as a replacement for the injured Mujeeb Ur Rahman, the IPL said on Thursday.
Ghazanfar has represented Afghanistan in two ODIs. The youngster has played three T20s and six List A matches and has five and four wickets respectively against his name. He joins KKR for his base price of Rs 20 Lakh.
Prasidh recently underwent surgery on his left proximal quadriceps tendon and is currently recovering.
His replacement Maharaj has played 27 T20Is, 44 ODIs and 50 Tests and has scalped 237 wickets in international cricket.
Additionally, he has played 159 T20s, picking up 130 wickets, and can chip in with some handy runs down the order. RR have brought him on board for his base price of Rs 50 Lakh.

Rajasthan's decision to bat first proved right as skipper Sanju Samson led from the front with an unbeaten 82 in 52 balls and guided his side to a healthy 193/4.

IPL 2024, RR vs LSG: Rajasthan make a 'Royal' start; beat Lucknow Super Giants by 20 runs

Rajasthan made a 'Royal' start to their IPL 2024 campaign as they beat the Lucknow Super Giants by 20 runs in Jaipur in the 1st game of a super Sunday.

Rajasthan's decision to bat first proved right as skipper Sanju Samson led from the front with an unbeaten 82 in 52 balls and guided his side to a healthy 193/4.

Rajasthan made a 'Royal' start to their IPL 2024 campaign as they beat the Lucknow Super Giants by 20 runs in Jaipur in the 1st game of a super Sunday.
Rajasthan's decision to bat first proved right as skipper Sanju Samson led from the front with an unbeaten 82 in 52 balls and guided his side to a healthy 193/4. He struck 3 fours and 6 sixes while adding 93 runs for the third wicket with Riyan Parag (43).
Lucknow's run-chase began on a disastrous note as they found themselves 3 down with just 11 runs on the board.
That's when KL Rahul dropped anchor and kept his side in the contest with a gritty 44-ball-58. He had a decent support from Deepak Hooda but he went back after a fiery 13-ball-26.
Nicholas Pooran then supported his skipper as the two put together an 85-run stand for the 5th wicket before Rahul departed in the 17th over.
Pooran cut loose post that but his unbeaten 64 off 41 balls went in vain as LSG finished on 173/6.
While Rajasthan next take on the Delhi Capitals at the same ground on Thursday, LSG will head back home and will host the Punjab Kings in Lucknow on Saturday.
Brief scores:
Rajasthan Royals: 193/4 20 overs (Sanju Samson 82 not out, Riyan Parag 43) beat LSG 173/6 (Nicholas Pooran 64 not out, KL Rahul 58, Trent Boult 2/35).

For Rajasthan Royals, apart from a formidable top 3, Dhruv Jurel's emergence offers hope, Shimron Hetmyer has been a top match-winner but Riyan Parag's inconsistency raises concerns.

<h2>For Rajasthan Royals, apart from a formidable top 3, Dhruv Jurel's emergence offers hope, Shimron Hetmyer has been a top match-winner but Riyan Parag's inconsistency raises concerns.</h2>

Sixteen years have elapsed since the Rajasthan Royals clinched the IPL title in its inaugural season. They got close in 2022 but they were bested by the Gujarat Titans at the final juncture. The Royals are now entering the 2024 season with an aura of optimism. Their team composition this year suggests a finely tuned balance that could turn the tide in their favour.
At the forefront of Rajasthan Royals' arsenal is their formidable top-order, comprising Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sanju Samson. This trio boasts versatility and adaptability, enabling the team to tailor their approach to the myriad conditions they might encounter. Buttler, Jaiswal and Samson's explosive batting, combined with their consistency, provides the Royals with a robust foundation.
The batting depth doesn't end there, as Shimron Hetmyer, known for his match-winning capabilities in previous seasons, is joined by newcomer Rovman Powell, for whom the Royals invested a substantial 7.4 Crore. The team's batting lineup is further bolstered by Dhruv Jurel, who is in the form of his life. Riyan Parag, who has shown his prowess in domestic cricket, and the addition of Vidharbha's Shubham Dubey enhance their options in the lower-middle order.
Rajasthan's bowling lineup is equally seasoned, with stalwarts R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Trent Boult set to lead the attack. Despite Prasidh Krishna's injury being a setback, the acquisition of Avesh Khan, alongside Sandeep Sharma and Kuldeep Sen, ensures depth and variety in their Indian bowling contingent.
Strengths The Royals' strengths lie in their top 3 batters, whose performances have consistently set the stage for the team and the team will be hoping that the trip can shepherd the rest of the batting group during the 2024 campaign. Coupled with a lethal spin trio that includes Ashwin, Chahal, and the bench option of Adam Zampa, they possess a significant advantage on spin-friendly pitches.
Weaknesses However, challenges remain, particularly in the lower-middle order where the performance can be unpredictable. Dhruv Jurel's emergence offers hope, Shimron Hetmyer has been a top match-winner but Riyan Parag's inconsistency raises concerns. Additionally, despite the availability of Avesh Khan and Sandeep Sharma, there's room for speculation regarding who will be their fourth and fifth bowling options during IPL 2024.
As the Rajasthan Royals gear up for the 2024 IPL season, their blend of experienced campaigners and young talent sets a promising stage. Still, it will be their ability to win the crucial moments, that will determine their fate in the quest for their second IPL title.

Less than a month to IPL, Rajasthan Sports Council seals Sawai Mansingh Stadium, RCA office

Rajasthan Sports Council secretary Sohan Ram Choudhary had served a notice to the RCA for handing over the property to the state council on Friday, but it did not happen.

One month before it hosts Indian Premier League matches, the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur has been sealed by the Rajasthan Sports Council which claimed that the state cricket body did not fulfil its liabilities, including payment of dues.
Rajasthan Cricket Association's (RCA) office and its academy were also sealed, along with the stadium.
Rajasthan Sports Council secretary Sohan Ram Choudhary had served a notice to the RCA for handing over the property to the state council on Friday, but it did not happen.
Since the handover did not happen, the state sports council went on to seal the properties owing to RCA&rsquo;s alleged failure of not being able to fulfil its conditions as per the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and non-payment of dues.
&ldquo;We had sent them (RCA) numerous notices but there was no reply from their end. They only replied to increase the MoU to 10 years (from eight years). They had liabilities and they did not fulfil them,&rdquo; Choudhary told the media.
&ldquo;We have sat down with RCA to find a solution. They received approximately Rs 200 crores but told us that they haven't received the sum. They had a lot of money during the Rajasthan Premier League but they did not adhere to the MoU and did not deposit the money, that's why we had to take this step,&rdquo; he added.
Choudhary, however, gave the assurance that the venue will host the IPL matches and all other games that are slated to be organised here.
&ldquo;This is our premise and we just took it back. The IPL matches will happen and all other national and international matches will also happen and the players will get all the facilities,&rdquo; he said.
RCA president Vaibhav Gehlot, on his part, alleged that the move smacked of "political malice&rsquo; and that his body was not given enough time to respond.
&ldquo;The pending dues are old one, Rs 8 crore is outstanding but suddenly sealing (because of) that old case and that too before the IPL shows political malice. This should not have happened," Gehlot said.
"We were not given full time, the time given was less than two days, there should not be politics in sports but politics is happening which is not right,&rdquo; he added.
Gehlot said the RCA will consult its lawyers as to what steps it would take in this matter.
The Sawai Man Singh Stadium will host the local team Rajasthan Royals&rsquo; opening match against Lucknow Super Giants on March 24.
The second game here will be on March 28 between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals.
The IPL 2024 schedule was announced only for the first two weeks and 21 matches, owing to the general elections.&nbsp;
