The skipper Mayank Agarwal looks a bit out of touch. He didn’t get to bat in the last match and gave his opening slot to Jonny Bairstow but he couldn’t perform at his old IPL spot either.

Rishi Dhawan picked the wicket of the GT skipper Hardik Pandya in the last match. He has picked 3 wickets in 3 matches and scored 21 off 22 balls against LSG. He is for sure, cementing his place in the playing 11.

Rahul Chahar is taking care of the spin department for PBKS while Rabada is the leading wicket taker with 17 wickets from his fine pace bowling.

Arshdeep and Sandeep are bowling well keeping the economy under 8. They will be in the playing 11 for the next match.

Rajasthan Royals

Jos Buttler is on top of his game currently, smashing 588 runs at an average of 65.33. Devdutt Padikkal is losing his form a little since the last 3 matches, after scoring a half century against Delhi Capitals.

Skipper Sanju Samson is in good form. He smashed 54 off 49 against KKR in the last match but the team lost the match.

The team is keeping their trust on Karun Nair but he is yet to give a good performance this season.

Shimron Hetmyer and Riyan Parag are crucial pillars of RR's middle-order. Parag smashed 19 runs off 12 balls and Hetmyer scored 27 off 13, in the last match. They both can bat at any required run rate.

RR has one of the bowling attacks of the season. Ashwin and Chahal have picked 8 and 19 wickets, respectively, and they are bowling at an impressive economy.

Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna are bonding well together in the pace attack and the new bowler Kuldeep Sen has been pretty impressive. He has picked 8 wickets in just 5 matches, including a 4-wicket haul against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
