The mighty show!
Evin Lewis and Liam Livingstone's power batting will meet its match in the giant -Chris Gayle's strength and skipper KL Rahul's tactics. Royals lost a talisman in Jos Buttler but in Lewis they may have a reasonable replacement.
Livingstone, for the last couple of years, has been in phenomenal form in the shortest format of the game. He is coming to Dubai on the back of some stunning show in The Hundred'. It is most likely that he may open with West Indies' Lewis on Tuesday.
If the duo manages to give Royals an explosive start in Powerplay overs, the men-in-blue will expect skipper Sanju Samson to be more consistent in that number three position. Not to forget the all-rounder Chris Morris. He may not be in South Africa's plans anymore but he remains a formidable force. He is also the second-highest wicket-taker this IPL season (14).
