Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), the Lucknow-based franchise team competing in the Indian Premier League (IPL), started their journey in 2022 and reached the playoffs in back-to-back seasons. They are yet to reach an IPL final, as of April 2025. LSG, who were earlier led by KL Rahul, bought Rishabh Pant for INR 27 crore in the IPL 2025 auction and subsequently appointed him as their new captain.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) lifted the inaugural IPL trophy in 2008. However, they have only reached the IPL final once since 2008. After failing to win the IPL final in 2022, they finished fifth in the points table in 2023 and reached the playoffs in 2024. They faced LSG at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur in IPL 2025 and narrowly lost the league stage game by two runs.
