Placed on top of the points table after recording three wins out of three, the Royals have looked like one of the most complete sides this season, combining fearless batting with disciplined bowling, and will be keen to extend their dominance against an equally inform RCB, who are placed third with two wins from as many outings.

At the top, Rajasthan’s biggest strength has been their explosive opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The duo has consistently provided electrifying starts, putting opposition bowlers under immediate pressure with their aggressive intent and clean ball-striking.
