IPL 2023 Rajasthan
Royals: Shimron Hetmyer
and Sanju Samson

RR will hope Shimron Hetmyer and Sanju Samson will replicate their outstanding knocks against Gujarat Titans to help Rajasthan Royals after their latest loss against Lucknow Super Giants. Their contributions will be key for RR against RCB's tight bowling line-up [{ "selector": ".cgifc-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 415px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".wsatb-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

IPL 2023 Rajasthan Royals: Jos Buttler

Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler's return to form wasn't enough for Rajasthan Royals as Lucknow Super Giants eked out a win against them.

IPL 2023 Rajasthan Royals:
Yuzvendra Chahal

Rajasthan Royals leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who won the Purple Cap in 2022, has been among wickets this season too but he has been erratic lately and RR would hope Chahal will spin a web around the team he made 114 IPL appearances for [{ "selector": ".mzami-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 435px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".rbmsq-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

IPL 2023 Royal Challengers
Bangalore: Virat Kohli- Faf
du Plessis combo

IPL 2023 Royal Challengers
Bangalore: Wanindu
Hasaranga
