RR vs PBKS Key Battle:
Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Arshdeep Singh
Yashasvi Jaiswal is trying to push RR to a solid start, as he could have done in previous seasons.
Jaiswal has to deal with the pace of Arshdeep Singh, who spotted Mojo in the last few matches before the league’s suspension.
Riyan Parag vs Yuzvendra Chahal
The contest between Riyan Parag and Yuzvendra Chahal will be interesting to watch given the nature of the parag in taking on a spinner in the central over.
That being said, Chahar will see him pose as a batter with his bag of tricks and lead PBK to a critical victory in the match he is set to play in Jaipur.
Prabhsimran Singh vs Jofra Archer
PBK’s leading run scorer, Prabhsimran Singh, was the backbone of the team’s batting lineup with a measured approach at the top of the order. Right-handed people will face the challenge of Jofra Archer.
Jofra is the RR bowler choice and aims to limit the batters of Prabhsimran Singh to a total of less than PRK.
Shreyas Ayer vs. Wanindu Hasaranga
Shrayas Iyer will face Wanindu Hasaranga in RR vs. PBKS Clash. The Punjab Kings captain is in goodnick and will be willing to replicate the same performance in future matches.
Wanindu Hasaranga is the only bowler after Jofra Archer, who has seen some form for the former champion, and wants to perform in his next game.
