The home side Rajasthan Royals would like to start their winning way from the game against Chennai Super Kings. From, now on, Ajinkya Rahane-led side would like to bag all the remaining games in their kitty.
We Figured out five crucial players, who will be the cynosure of eyes during the progress of the game:
5. Deepak Chahar:
The youngster has been the talk of the town with his stunning display of seam bowling. He has been brilliant with the new ball for Chennai Super Kings, who delivered a few unplayable deliveries in his opening spell in the powerplay overs.
The young fast bowler has got an additional burden from now on with the absence of Dwayne Bravo in the ranks for the team. His spell against the clean strikers of the ball Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine at the top was brilliant.
Now, he would face a technically-correct batsman Jos Buttler and Steven Smith when he takes the field against Rajasthan Royals.
4. Jofra Archer:
Of course, Archer would be the man to watch out in the contest. He has been brilliant in the game against Chennai Super Kings on the other day. However, unfortunately, he ended up on the wrong side of things.
He also showcased his batting skills in the same game. The brilliant bowler of Rajasthan Royals is yet to bag the man of the match award to his name. Hopefully, he would get that in the game against Chennai.
Now, he got to face the Proteas star Faf du Plessis at the top of the order.
3. Shreyas Gopal:
Yes, the young lad from Karnataka is delivering goods for Rajasthan Royals more often than not. He stunned Royal Challengers Bangalore lineup with his brilliant and then, he exhibited his skills in the remaining games.
He would love to bank on his form and bag those crucial Chennai Super Kings’ wickets for the team when they face each other. Besides wickets, he has been economical for the team so far.
2. Jos Buttler:
When it is the game for Rajasthan Royals, then, surely, Jos Buttler factor will be on the game. It has been a stellar ride for him in the IPL after joining Royals’ camp. The brilliant striker of the ball will be the major threat for Chennai Super Kings on Thursday night.
He can whack those balls out of the park with ease irrespective of spinners or fast bowlers. As the game is set to be played at home, he can be the wrecker-in-chief. One of the candidates to bag man of the match award as well.
1. Mahendra Singh Dhoni:
Off course, it is MS Dhoni, who takes the centre stage in the match. Much like the last year, he is coming good with the bat once again for the team.
So far, he played a couple of match-changing knocks and leading the team with his astute captaincy. One of those knocks came against Rajasthan Royals when he had a lucky escape of Archer’s first ball, which hit the stumps but bails hesitated to come out of its groove.
MS Dhoni managed his bowlers well in the absence of Dwayne Bravo in the last game. However, with RR having a strong batting lineup, it would be interesting to see how he rotates his bowlers.
