Key Bowlers for Rajasthan Royals

The biggest positive for Rajasthan has been Sherays Gopal, who, with his googlies, deceived the likes of Virat Kohli, A B de Villiers and Shimron Hetmyer when these two teams met earlier in IPL 2019.

PITCH REPORT

Brendon Mccullum: It looks like a good wicket, it's a beauty. There is a little bit of grass. There should be good pace and bounce.

Key batsmen for Rajasthan Royals

The change in captaincy - replacing Ajnkya Rahane with Steve Smith - helped RR to an extent as this helped Rahane roar back to form with an elegant century, albeit in a losing cause, against Delhi Capitals. Sanju Samson, who had hit the first ton of this IPL, has been good.
