PBKS vs Rajasthan Match Preview:

Shikhar Dhawan, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, and Liam Livingstone are the three batters who have been the most consistent in Punjab's batting lineup. Jonny Bairstow isn't in a great touch and is likely to open the inning just like in the previous game with Mayank Agarwal playing in the middle-order. 

The bowling has done decently. Kagiso Rabada has picked eight wickets in the last games and will look to dominate the batters once again in this match. Rahul Chahar could be the game-changer for the Kings. 

Rajasthan, too, are depending on three batters - Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, and Shimron Hetmyer to score runs. Devdutt Padikkal has done well at times while Riyan Parag is a hit and miss. 

Royals' bowling is exceptional and makes up for the thin batting. All the bowlers - Yuzvendra Chahal, R Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, and Kuldeep Sen are chipping in with wickets regularly.
