The IPL season is currently in the second half of the season and right now there is only one team that has more or less fixed their place in the playoffs. The team is none other than the Rajasthan Royals(RR). The boys in pink are currently sitting at the top of the table with 8 wins and 1 loss from their 9 matches. Sanju Samson and his boys will be playing next against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in match 50.
The Royals have been enjoying an incredible 4 game-winning streak till now and would like to keep it alive going forward. They have done most of the job to fix a place in the top four and will be up against one of the most unpredictable and exciting sides in SRH this season. This might be a tougher match than expected, but RR will still look to go full throttle in this encounter as well.
So let us take a look at the probable playing squad for the upcoming game:
1. Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal might not be having the best of seasons like last year, but we cannot ignore the fact that he can play some big innings at the top and he will look to play his best game going forward.
2. Jos Buttler
The Royals will be happy to see that they finally got back an in-form Jos Buttler in the game against Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR). That game also gave us a glimpse of how dangerous the Englishman can be on his day.
3. Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson has by far been having a great time leading RR and this season he is currently the highest run scorer in the side. It has been a great tournament so far and he will look to continue the dominance.
4. Riyan Parag
Riyan Parag made an epic comeback last season. The last game might have not gone according to plan for the youngster, but he will look to make a huge impact going forward when he features in the match.
5. Shimron Hetmyer
Shimron Hetmyer has been the man to get RR out of trouble when needed. The Caribbean middle-order powerhouse will be one of the biggest threats to any opponent or bowler in front of him.
6. Dhruv Jurel
The young 23-year-old showed last game what he is capable of. Though he has barely got any game time, we have still enjoyed every moment of him on the field. There is no doubt that he is one of the upcoming talents in the franchise.
7. Ravichandran Ashwin
No matter what format it is Ravichandran Ashwin’s experience always counts for something. The bowling all-rounder has been bowling great spells and been useful with the bat which is reason enough to keep him in the playing XI.
8. Trent Boult
The Kiwi pacer is still one of the experienced strike bowlers in the side and will be looking for wickets upfront once again. Trent Boult is still a force to be reckoned with in the Royals side and he should be playing in the match as well.
9. Avesh Khan
Avesh Khan has proved to the Royals that he is one of their best death bowlers in the side. Though he might have been going for runs, he is still making breakthroughs and restricting the side in the final few overs.
10. Sandeep Sharma
Sandeep Sharma might have missed a lot of games at the start, but the four games he has featured in have been impressive. He does not only possess a healthy average and economy but has taken wickets as well which also includes a 5-fer against Mumbai Indians(MI).
11. Yuzvendra Chahal
Once against the willy and clever leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is the highest wicket-taker for his side. Chahal has proven this season once again why he is currently one of the best in T20s right now.
Impact- Rovman Powell-
The West Indian hard hitter is yet to feature with the bat in the middle. We all know about the power Powell possesses and we would like to see him strike some big shots in the upcoming game.
