Here's how the Playing 11 of PBKS and RR would look like
Although Punjab Kings might not make any changes in the Playing 11 as this Playing 11 has given the two wins in the last three games and thus it looks like a settled 11.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals could do really well by playing Jimmy Neesham in place of Karun Nair as he is someone who can smoke the ball a long way at the death and can also give 1-2 quick overs in the middle. Rajasthan is really lacking in death hitting abilities.
