Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], April 22 (ANI): Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rishabh Pant won the toss and opted to field against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Wednesday in Lucknow.

Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants find themselves in deeper trouble, currently on a three-match losing streak.
RR Skipper Riyan Parag said that the the team will focus on playing 'good cricket.'
'I actually told my boys that I want to lose the toss. I'm happy we lost the toss. I think we batted pretty well, we made some miscalculations in the middle overs. The message is that we have to play good cricket for 40 overs. We are playing the same team'. 'We are looking to bowl first. You know we have been playing in these conditions and are still figuring it out. The last few games have been challenging, and as players, we are looking to find ways. Just a subtle change. We have two changes,' Rishabh Pant said after winning the toss.
