Rajasthan Royals have a solid top-order consisting of Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, and Sanju Samson. The middle-order looks a bit inexperienced which will most likely be consisting of Manan Vohra, Shivam Dube while the finishing will be handled by Chris Morris and Rahul Tewatia. 

Trending

Morris will be the key player with the ball, especially in the absence of Jofra Archer. Andrew Tye or Mustafizur Rahman could be the third seamer along with Jaydev Unadkat. 

Punjab Kings too have a strong batting line-up starting with Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul followed by Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran. Mandeep Singh has been very impactful in whatever role he's given and Shahrukh Khan, who loves to strike the ball from the start of the innings, is well suited for a finishers' role. 

Jhye Richardson is a fantastic pick since he could contribute with both bat as well as the ball. Ravi Bishnoi had a great season last time and could be the X-factor for PBKS. Mohammad Shami will be returning after an injury break will be the key during the powerplay overs. 

Rajasthan Royals have an upper hand against Punjab Kings in past. But PBKS is looking more strong and balanced than RR and has a good chance to start their season with a win. 

Rajasthan Royals Probable XI - Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Sanju Samson, Manan Vohra, Riyan Parag, Chris Morris, Shivam Dube, Rahul Tewatia, Shreyas Gopal, Jaydev Unadkat, Andrew Tye/ Mustafizur Rahman

Punjab Kings Probable XI - KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Mandeep Singh, Shahrukh Khan, Deepak Hooda, Jhye Richardson, Chris Jordan, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi
