While RR have a new captain this season, Punjab Kings have a new name. Sanju Samson will be leading RR. He replaced Steve Smith, who released ahead of the IPL 2021 auction.

While Punjab will want to avenge their double loss to the side last season, the Royals will be hoping to continue their streak against Punjab with a win in this game. 

Top 3 Player's from Rajasthan Royals


Sanju Samson

Rajasthan Royals' new captain Sanju Samson will look to lead from the front. An explosive batsman, Samson is capable of playing match-winning knocks, taking bowlers to the cleaners. Samson is also known for starting the season well, so PBKS will be wary of the threat that he presents.


Jos Buttler

Buttler was in fine form in the T20 International (T20I) series between India and England and will be looking to continue in similar vein in the IPL. Whether at the top of the order or as a finisher, the English wicketkeeper-batsman is a dangerous entity as far as opposition bowlers are concerned.

Chris Morris

The South African all-rounder became the most expensive player in IPL history when the Royals picked him up for Rs 16.25 crore. Morris did well for RCB last season, especially bowling in the death overs, and that is something RR will hope he can replicate this year as well. He is also handy with the bat lower down the order. 


Top 3 Player's from Punjab Kings 


Jhye Richardson

The Aussie pacer could be seen sharing the new ball for Punjab Kings along with Mohammed Shami. Bowling had emerged as a weak link last year for PBKS, but this year it looks a lot more sorted. He would be expected to bag wickets right from the very start. As for death overs, they would bank on someone like Chris Jordan.


Nicholas Pooran

Pooran was exceptional last year, and could be seen at number three this year. Not only he has an excellent strike rate, but is consistent as well. He has soon made a name for himself in the star-studded batting line-up of Team Punjab. Apart from that he is a livewire in the outfield.


Chris Gayle

Even though he is over 40, but still one of the best when it comes to power-hitting. Last year’s tournament was just a reminder to the world that Gayle is not done yet, and good for a few more seasons. Now the Jamaican plays in the middle-order, and now has to take the team forward. He would be expected to slam a few fifties.

Rajasthan Royals Squad: Jos Buttler(w), Ben Stokes, Sanju Samson(c), Riyan Parag, Shivam Dube, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Liam Livingstone, Shreyas Gopal, Jaydev Unadkat, Kartik Tyagi, Mustafizur Rahman, Andrew Tye, Jofra Archer, Mayank Markande, Anuj Rawat, Chetan Sakariya, Kuldip Yadav, Yashasvi Jaiswal, David Miller, Manan Vohra, KC Cariappa, Mahipal Lomror, Akash Singh

Punjab Kings Squad: KL Rahul, Mayank Aggarwal, Chris Gayle, Prabhsimran Singh, Nicholas Pooran, Shahrukh Khan, Deepak Hooda, Jhye Richardson, Riley Meredith, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Sgami, Moises Henriques, Chris Jordan, Mandeep Singh, Dawid Malan, Jalaj Saxena, Murugan Ashwin, Sarfaraz Khan, Fabian Allen, Saurabh Kumar, Ishan Porel, Utkarsh Singh, Darshan Nalkande, Arshdeep Singh, Harpreet Brar
