RR (Rajasthan Royals) Team IPL 2024
The Rajasthan Royals have won all of their games this season and their playing XI for the upcoming match looks very dangerous. They have the potential to make the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lose, as the RCB team is already coming off a loss. Rajasthan Royals are carrying the momentum of victory, having won three back-to-back matches. George Butler and Yashashvi Jaiswal are yet to showcase their true form this season. Their opening can be a cause of trouble for Rajasthan, but Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag are two middle-order batsmen in excellent form, making runs at a fast pace.
Riyan Parag has been in magnificent form in the last three matches and is the top run-getter. Shimran Etemayar has not yet found his form as a finisher for Rajasthan Royals, but he can be sent to play depending on the situation, overs left and match scenario. Dhruv Jurel is also in good form and has been performing well this season. He recently made his test debut for the Indian team and played well in that too.
Ravi Chandan Ashwin manages the batting department for Rajasthan Royals and also manages the spin department with Uzi. The bowling department is led by Trent Boult, Avesh Khan and Yujvendra Chahal, with Sandeep Sharma as an impact player. Rajasthan Royals’ fast-paced department is led by Trent Bolt and Sandeep Sharma, with Avesh Khan in good form and momentum.
The possible playing level of Rajasthan Royals is George Butler, Yash Ashpi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, Shimran Etmair, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Bolt, Nandre Berger, Avesh Khan and Yuzvendra Chaito. Overall, the playing level of Rajasthan Royals looks quite sorted.
RCB (Royal Challengers Bangalore’s) Team IPL 2024
Royal Challengers Bangalore’s opening pair in the PPL consists of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis. They are a dangerous and popular pair, although this season Faf du Plessis has not been performing as well as Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli is currently in great form, having scored 250 runs this season and being one of the top run-scorers.
He came close to scoring a century in a match against Shatak, but was unable to do so. However, given his current form, it seems likely that he will score multiple centuries in the T20 World Cup. Cameron Green, who also manages the fast ball department, has not yet played in the PPL this season.
In the middle order, RCB has Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Anuj Rawat and Dinesh Karthik. Anuj Rawat had a good batting performance in the first match, but has not been able to replicate that form since then. Similarly, Glenn Maxwell has not performed as well as expected in the batting department, but he does contribute by taking wickets in the spin department. However, the team is more interested in his batting skills than his bowling.
RCB’s batting department is stronger than their bowling department, and Dinesh Karthik is currently one of the best finishers in the PPL. After that, proper bowlers will come – Reece Topley, Mayank Dagar, Mohammed Siraj and Yash Dayal. Alzarri Joseph will be dropped. Reece Topley played in the last match and is expected to play in the upcoming match as well. Mayank Dagar will handle the spin department, having impressed in domestic cricket. Mohammed Siraj is a great player, although he has not been performing up to his usual standards this season. Yash Dayal, who was previously with the Gujarat Titans, has been playing very well for RCB and consistently takes wickets.
RCB’s possible playing 11 includes Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Cameron Green, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, Reece Topley, Mayank Dagar, Mohammed Siraj and Yash Dayal.
