Info:

Rajasthan Royals a 67% chance to win this match 

Punjab Kings a 33% chance to win this match 

Key Players: 

Rajasthan Royals 

Riyan Parag 

Riyan Parag scored 47 on a tough Chepauk surface against CSK. Parag has been on fire in IPL and played a massive role in Royals juggernaut this season, scoring 483 runs.

Sanju Samson 

Sanju Samson has been mighty consistent. He has broken the record of most runs by him in an IPL season, with 486 runs at a strike rate of 158. Every time Royals have found themselves in trouble, Samson has put his hand up and took the team to the position of strength.

Yuzvendra Chahal 

Yuzvendra Chahal lost some form in the previous few games but he still is one of the key members of the bowling unit. Chahal has taken 15 wickets so far in IPL 2024.

Sandeep Sharma 

Sandeep Sharma has got the ball to swing both ways and picked clutch wickets with the new ball, something he would be expected to do against PBKS. Overall, he has taken 10 wickets in seven games so far.

RR Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Tanush Kotian,  Rovman Powell, Tom Kohler Cadmore, Nandre Burger, Keshav Maharaj 

Rovman Powell could be used as an impact player while Shimron Hetmyer can be picked in playing XI in place of Shubham Dubey. In case RR need a bowler, Nandre Burger can be used.

Punjab Kings 

Shikhar Dhawan 

Shikhar Dhawan would be raring to make an impact after missing most of PBKS’ matches this season due to injury. With PBKS already out of the playoff race, Dhawan could play without any pressure which could get the best out of him.

Jonny Bairstow 

Jonny Bairstow started slow but found form in the latter end of the tournament that also saw him score a match winning hundred against KKR. Overall, he has scored 284 runs in 10 games this season.

Shashank Singh 

Shashank Singh has been a great find for PBKS. Coming at tough situations, Singh did well to bail out PBKS from trouble and put them on the brink of a win. He has scored 352 runs in 12 games in IPL 2024.

Harshal Patel 

Harshal Patel might leak a few runs but almost always gets important wickets for the team. With 20 wickets in 12 games, he is the joint highest wicket-taker in the tournament along with Jasprit Bumrah.

PBKS Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Harpreet Brar, Rishi Dhawan, Nathan Ellis, T Thyagarajan, Shubham Dubey 

Jitesh Sharma can be used if PBKS need a batter while Harpreet Brar can be a good bowling impact player.

Team Forms: 

RR Team Form: 

RR have been outstanding throughout the season, winning 10 games, however, the team suffered defeats in the last three matches of the IPL 2024.

PBKS Team Form: 

PBKS have been ordinary in IPL 2024, winning just four games. They have been knocked out of the tournament.
