Rajasthan Royals Team Preview
RR is not playing with the regular captain. Their regular captain Sanju Samson is just playing as a batter as he is not fully fit. The local boy of Guwahati, Riyan Parag will lead the side. His captaincy wasn’t great in the first match vs SRH, made a few tactical errors that cost RR the match.
Batting is still strong. Jaiswal and Samson will open the innings, while Parag at No.3. Nitish Rana, Hetmyer, and Jurel provide depth in the middle order.
Bowling remains a weak link. Jofra Archer had a poor game last match, but RR will stick with him. Hasaranga and Theekshana will handle spin, while Sandeep Sharma will assist in pace.
