Rajasthan Royals Team Preview
BATTING Camp
- Good news for the Rajasthan batting camp – Joss Buttler and Sanju Samson are back in their prime. Buttler scored 95 runs in his second last game while Sanju has scored two consecutive fifties.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal has been impressive throughout the season. Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel have good finishing abilities.
BOWLING Camp
- Bowling is the major weak point in the team, they totally rely on Yuzvendra Chahal and if he doesn’t perform then the whole bowling line-up fails completely.
- Rajasthan is still searching for their third pacer which is a major concern for the management.
RR Possible Starting 11
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Joe Root, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, T Boult, Sandeep Sharma, K M Asif, Yuzvendra Chahal
Royal Challengers Team Preview
BATTING Camp
- Opening pair is the only batting strength present in the team, both Virat and Du Plessis have performed very well in the tournament. Virat has 420 runs and Faf has 576 runs so far in 11 games.
- The middle batting order has failed completely, Maxwell has good batting skills but he plays immature cricket. Dinesh Karthik, Shahbaz, Suyash Prabhudesai have not performed in a single game.
BOWLING Camp
- Similarly, like batting,the bowling order is dependent on just two bowlers, Mohammad Siraj and Wanindu Hasranga.
- Every other bowler like Harshal Patel, Josh Hazelwood have failed completely.
RCB Possible Starting 11
Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Anuj Rawat, Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Kedar Jadhav, Wanindu Hasaranga, Karn Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood
