RR's loss keeps them in the eighth place in the standings and has further hurt their chances of qualifying for the playoffs with just two wins out of eight matches played as the tournament goes past its halfway mark.
In the evening game of the double header, LSG pacer Avesh Khan grabbed three crucial wickets as they beat RR by two runs in a thrilling IPL clash. For the Royals, Yashasvi Jaiswal slammed a half-century, while teenager Vaibhav Suryavanshi made a huge impact.
Aiden Markram and Ayush Badoni struck half centuries and shared a 76-run fourth-wicket partnership as LSG put up 180 for 5.
In reply, Jaiswal (74), Riyan Parag (39) and young Vaibhav (34) put RR in a winning position before Avesh, who returned figures of 3/37 by taking the wickets of Jaiswal, Parag and Shimron Hetmyer, restricted the hosts to 178 for 5.
Earlier in the day, Jos Buttler smashed an unbeaten 97 and shared a 119-run partnership with Sherfane Rutherford (43) as Gujarat Titans defeated Delhi Capitals by seven wickets.
Chasing a challenging 204-run target, Buttler took just 54 balls for his 97 (11x4, 4x6), as GT completed the task in 19.2 overs.
Earlier, invited to bat, DC managed 203 for eight on an easy-paced pitch with skipper Axar Patel top-scoring for the visitors with his 39-run knock off 32 balls, while Tristian Stubbs (31) and Ashutosh Sharma (37) also made useful contributions for their side.
Pacer Prasid Krishna (4/41) was the standout bowler for the home side.
