Ahead of the much-anticipated Royals clash, let’s take a look at both teams’ predicted lineups.

Rajasthan Royals predicted XI

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Talented left-hand batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal is yet to declare himself for the ongoing IPL season. He has scored 39 points in three games with a shooting percentage of 156 and is expected to return to form soon.

If the housekeeper

England international Jos Buttler also did not get off to a good start in IPL 2024. Having lost early wickets and amassed just 35 runs in all his matches so far, the 2022 Orange Cap winner will be keen to find his form as soon as possible.

Sanju Samson (captain and goalkeeper)

Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson had a stellar season and scored 109 runs, including a highest score of 82*. As an attacking batsman, Samson averages 54.50, something that opposing batsmen must be wary of.

Ryanparag

Riyan Parag has been the star player for the Rajasthan Royals this season. He is in contention for the Orange Cap award with scores of 181 in three games and has hit two fifties this season with a batting average of 160.17.

Shimon Heitmeier

West Indies T20 sensation Shimron Hetmyer adds depth and firepower to Rajasthan Royals’ middle-order. Despite not batting much this season, he is known for his power-hitting, with a strike rate of over 150 in the IPL.

Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin has been in fine form for Royals this season. He accumulated 45 runs in two innings, hitting three sixes along the way and also claimed a wicket.

Dhruv Urel

Dhruv Jurel has emerged as a key player for RR after his impressive performances in the Test series between India and England. An excellent ball-handler, he scored 40 runs in two innings with a strike rate of 166.67.

Trent Bolt

Trent Boult is regarded as one of the fiercest bowlers in T20 cricket and his performance in RR has been outstanding. Boult will come into this match coming off a stellar performance of 3 for 22 against Mumbai Indians and has grabbed 5 wickets in IPL 2024.

Avish Khan

Avesh Khan brings another dimension to Royals’ bowling set-up. He has an economy of 7.27 and took two wickets while bowling in pressure situations in IPL 2024.

Hed Berg

South African pacer Nandre Burger has been making waves in the T20 circuit recently. In three matches in IPL Rajasthan 2024, Berger has taken 5 wickets at an average of 18.20 in his debut season.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal has been singing this season. His change of spin has helped him pick up 6 wickets and he is currently the leading wicket-taker for RR, making him the key to the Royals bowling team in IPL 2024.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Predicted XI

Faf du Plessis (captain)

South African veteran Faf du Plessis is expected to open the batting for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Unlike his opening partner, Faf got off to a poor start in IPL 2024, scoring 65 runs in four games.

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli will open the innings along with RCB captain Faf du Plessis. Kohli has carried over his stellar form in the 2023 ICC Men’s CWC into the 2024 IPL and is the current Orange Cap holder with 203 runs in four games.

rajapatidar

Rajat Patidar provided much-needed support to the opening batsmen at batting number three for RCB. He showed signs of getting back to his best in the last game and will look to make an impact in the upcoming games.

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell’s performance with the bat has been mediocre in the ongoing IPL season. However, he has taken four wickets in four games and it is surely only a matter of time before he finds his form with the bat.

Cameron Green

Maxwell’s compatriot Cameron Green has been solid this season with both bat and ball. The all-rounder scored 63 runs and claimed two wickets in four games for RCB.

Anuj Rawat (goalkeeper)

Bengaluru wicketkeeper Anuj Rawat could be a key cog in the team. Rawat has scored 73 points in four games so far, but he can do better, as shown in the first game of the season when he scored 48 points.

Dinesh Karthik

Whenever the need arises, Dinesh Kartik steps up to add important runs to RCB’s scoreboard. DK is in amazing form this season, scoring 90 points in four games with an impressive shooting percentage of 173.07.

Mayank Dajjal

Mayank Dagar is likely to lead the spin bowling attack of Royal Challengers Bangalore. He has taken just one wicket in four games with an economy rate of 8.74, but has shown potential to do better.

Rhys Topley

English pacer Reece Topley has played just one game for RCB this season. He performed well last time out, picking up a wicket at an economy rate of 9.75, and will be hoping to be among the wicket-takers again.

Mohammed Siraj

In-form Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj will initiate proceedings against RR. Siraj has taken three wickets in four matches and will be hoping for a better performance in the coming matches.

Yash Dayal

Yash Dayal, who has been one of RCB’s wickets in IPL 2024, will look to assist Siraj in leading the team’s fast bowling attack. Dayal has taken four wickets in four matches so far.
