Fans on Twitter reacted after Rajasthan Royals (RR) continued their dominance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 as they registered another impressive win. They defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by seven wickets at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.

Lucknow Super Giants were asked to bat first and they were off to a poor start with the bat as they lost Quinton de Kock (8) and Marcus Stoinis early in the first two overs. However, after that skipper KL Rahul (76) and Deepak Hooda (50) brought the team back into the game with their magnificent batting. 

The Rahul-Hooda duo added 115 runs for the third wicket and put the opposition under pressure. After that, Ayush Badoni (18*) and Krunal Pandya (15*) got some quick runs and helped Lucknow Super Giants post a fighting total on the board. 

The home team ended with a total of 196/5. For Rajasthan, Sandeep Sharma was the pick of the bowlers with his figures of 2/31 whereas Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, and Ravichandran Ashwin picked on wicket each with the ball as they restricted the opposition to under 200, which has been a norm this season. 

Rajasthan Royals in the chase was off to a decent start with the bat, thanks to Yashasvi Jaiswal (24) and Jos Buttler (34). They added 60 runs for the opening partnership but there was a twist in the take immediately after that. 

Rajasthan Royals came under a bit of pressure as they lost a few quick wickets after that. But skipper Sanju Samson (71*) and Dhruv Jurel (52*) took the game away from Lucknow. They added unbeaten 121 runs and took their team to a comfortable seven-wicket win. 

Fans on Twitter react as Rajasthan Royals thumps Lucknow Super Giants by 7 wickets in IPL 2024

As Rajasthan Royals thumped Lucknow Super Giants by 7 wickets in IPL 2024, fans on Twitter reacted to it. They lauded the Sanju Samson-led side for their stellar effort and gave some joyful reactions. Here are some of them: 

Going by what's happened in the season, and the likely combination - Sanju and Rishabh should be flying to US. Who plays there can be for later but if two keepers are in the 15, there should be no debate on these two.

It will be unfair on Sanju Samson if he’s not among the two WKs for World Cup. This probably is the best we’ve seen of him as batsman; to go along with his wicket-keeping and captaincy. #RRvsLSG #IPL2024 #CricketTwitter

The Roar From Sanju Samson Says It All ❤️

I Am Sure He Must Be Aware Of Story Done By PTI That KL Rahul Is Ahead Of Him In The Race For T20 World Cup.

But Today With This Innings In Front Of KL Rahul He Must Has Given Selectors Headache.

If Sanju Samson still isn't India's first-choice WK for the T20 World Cup, then some serious questions must be asked.

If BCCI has 2 working eyes and a working brain then Sanju Samson should definitely play the T20 World Cup. pic.twitter.com/PiBjYOYAyR

Sanju Samson is going to the T20 World Cup or I’m protesting.

I so wished for Dhruv Jurel to get more opportunities this season. The fact that RR have been so good with the top-4 that he rarely got the time in the middle. He was my dark-horse selection for the T20 World Cup. #IPL

Samson. Number 3. T20 World Cup. Shouldn't be a debate at this point.
