Rishabh Pant forgets to call, leads to strange double toss.

In a comical start to the IPL clash between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants, interim skipper Riyan Parag and LSG captain Rishabh Pant had to conduct the toss twice. Parag flipped the coin, but Pant forgot to call, leading to confusion before the toss was redone with Pant calling tails and getting it right. Despite the laughter, the stakes are high as LSG sits fifth on the points table with four wins, while Rajasthan Royals are struggling at eighth with just two wins. With regular captain Sanju Samson out due to injury, Parag is leading a team in need of a turnaround. The youngest-ever player in an IPL matchday squad, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, is listed as an Impact Sub and expected to bat later in the game. Parag admitted the team has been struggling to put a collective performance together but remains hopeful. The toss-time comedy and the record-breaking 14-year-old player have added an unexpected spark to the evening.
