Opening Pair

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson are open as usual for Rajasthan Royals. The last match was not good for Jaiswal; he was only able to score 1 run while chasing a huge target of 287 runs.

Sanju Samson comes up as an impact player and played an impactful innings. He scored 66 runs in 37 balls with a strike rate of 178. He is looking forward to continuing his form in this match also.

Riyan Parag at NO.3

Rajasthan Royals’ new captain, Riyan Parag, could come up at 3, as we witnessed in the last match. He started his inning by scoring a four but on the second ball, he was caught out by Simarjeet Singh. He needs to play patiently and with more responsibility.

Middle Order

Nitish Rana also got a good start in the previous match but he got out by 11 runs while trying to chase the huge target. In the last match, he bowled one over also.

Dhruv Jurel took responsibility while chasing the target in the last match. He scored 70 runs in just 35 balls and scored 5 fours and 6 over boundaries with a strike rate of 200.

Shimron Hetmyer is known for his aggressive batting and power-hitting ability. In the last match, he also showed some amazing batting skills; he scored 42 runs in 23 balls with a strike rate of 182, including one boundary and four over boundaries.

The uncapped Indian Shubham Dubey could play a great finishing role in this match. He showed his batting ability in the last match, where he scored 34 runs only in 11 balls with a strike rate of 309. He hit one boundary and four over boundaries in that match.

Bowlers

Jofra Archer bowled an expensive spell; he bowled four overs and conceded 76 runs without taking any wickets. He needs to improve his bowling and take some wickets to help his team win the match.

Maheesh Theekshana took two wickets in the last match; he was one of the successful bowlers for the Rajasthan Royals.

Tushar Deshpande was the most successful bowler for Rajasthan in the last match. He took three wickets in that match. He could be one of the best bowlers in the upcoming match against KKR.

Sandeep Sharma also went expensive in the last match; he took only one wicket after conceding 51 runs in 4 overs.

Impact Player

Fazalhaq Farooqi could have a good impact player option in this match. In the last match, he subbed out after bowling. If the Rajasthan Royals bat first, then Farooqi can come as an impact player.
