Rajasthan Royals
Team News
RR too will not be keen on making too many changes in the winning combination.
Top order
Jos Buttler and Devdutt Padikkal will open the innings, followed by Sanju Samson. Buttler has been in sizzling form and has already scored two hundreds in the IPL 2022. Padikkal has been disappointing and will have to come good. The team will expect consistency from Sanju Samson who has blown hot and cold.
Middle Order
Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag and Karun Nair will form a decent looking middle order. Hetmyer has played some good innings for Rajasthan this year but Parag has not done much. Nair also hasn't played much so RR has some concerns here.
All-Rounder
Lack of an all-rounder is a major issue for the RR team.
Bowlers
The bowling though is one of the best with the likes of Trent Boult, Prasidth Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, R Ashwin and Obed McCoy at their disposal.
RR Key Batters
- Jos Buttler - Buttler has been in sizzling form this season and has already scored two hundreds. He is the holder of the orange cap with 372 runs.
