Rajasthan Royals will take on Punjab Kings in the 65th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on Wednesday. RR has suffered three losses on the bounce and it will be crucial for them to return to winning ways before the all-important playoffs.
RR will want to finish among the top two teams and join Kolkata Knight Riders. The Sanju Samson-led team hasn’t been at their absolute best and they have paid the price.
On the other hand, Punjab Kings have been eliminated from the playoffs race after managing only four wins in 12 games.
Stats Preview:
PBKS vice-captain Jitesh Sharma needs nine more sixes to complete 50 maximums in the lucrative tournament.
Rilee Rossouw needs 98 runs to complete 500 runs in the IPL.
Shashank Singh requires 79 runs to reach the 500-run mark in the tournament.
The RR captain Sanju Samson needs two more fours to complete 350 boundaries in the tournament.
RR opener Yashasvi Jaiswal will play his 50th match in the IPL.
