Top 3 Players To Watch Out For In The Match Between Rajasthan Royal And Royal Challengers Bangalore

The Stage is all set for the final of the 17th edition of the Tata Indian Premier League, where 2 teams will be playing against each other at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on May 25th to lift the trophy of IPL 2024. But before that, there will be a clash of two Royal teams in the eliminator of the Playoffs tomorrow at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The winner in this will be heading towards Qualifiers 2 against the losing team of the qualifier 1 between Kolkata and Hyderabad.

Talking about both teams, they have got one of the best players in their playing 11, who can single-handedly change the game for their respective teams. Through this news piece, we will cover 3 important players from both sides who can play a crucial role in tomorrow’s game.

1. Virat Kohli 

Virat Kohli is currently the Orange Cap holder of the 17th edition of Tata Indian Premier League with 708 runs in 14 games with an average of 64.36, having 1 hundred and 5 half-centuries to his name. With RCB defeating Chennai Super Kings in their must-win match at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium and assuring the place in the playoffs, the confidence of Virat Kohli will be very high before the do-or-die game against Rajasthan Royals. So we can witness him playing a great knock for the Bangalore-based franchise in the must-win game at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

2. Sandeep Sharma 

Sandeep Sharma is among the list of bowlers who have picked the most wickets in the powerplay for a team. The right-hand medium fast bowler has picked a total of 59 wickets with excellent economy of 6.32 by conceding just 1836 in 126 innings in IPL history. However, the experienced fast bowler has just picked 10 wickets in 9 games. But he can play a crucial role in the upcoming match against RCB with his slower deliveries on big boundaries at Narendra Modi Stadium, where it is difficult to hit boundaries and bowlers like Sandeep Sharma get some assistance from the pitch.

Sandeep Sharma holds a great record against RCB’s star batter Virat Kohli, who is the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 708 runs in 14 games as he has made Orange Cap holder out on 7 occasions while bowling 67 balls and conceding just 87 runs with a strike rate of 127.

3. Sanju Samson 

After Jos Buttler returns to home for national duties, the responsibilities to score runs will be on the captain of the Rajasthan Royals team, who holds a great record while playing against the Bangalore-based franchise as he has scored 3 half-centuries against Bangalore in IPL history and with the form he is going through we can witness the RR Skipper play a match-winning knock for his team in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Sanju Samson has been in top-notch form in the ongoing tournament, where he has scored the second-highest run for the Rajasthan-based franchise after Riyan Parag with 504 runs in 14 games with an average of 56, having 5 half-centuries to his name.
