RR Playing XI vs LSG: Team Major Boost and Setback
In a major boost to the Rajasthan Royals squad, star pacer Trent Boult was in the playing 11 in the last match against Gujarat Titans. He missed the match against Chennai Super Kings due to an injury. Now, he is fit and will be available for selection in the upcoming matches.
Another major boost for RR is the form their skipper Sanju Samson and power hitter Shimron Hetmeyer. Sanju played a fantastic captain’s knock of 60 runs off 32 balls against Gujarat Titans, whereas Hetmeyer’s unbeaten 56 off just 26 balls led RR to victory.
The top-order batters of Rajasthan Royals are in sublime form. Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal have played some incredible innings in the team’s recent victories, and Devdutt Padikkal has also looked in good touch in the five matches played so far. However, the team’s star player Riyan Parag has failed to impress with his performance, which is the only setback for Rajasthan.
Talking about the team’s bowling performance, it has been outstanding in the last few matches. Sandeep Sharma, who came in as a replacement for Prasidh Krishna, defended 21 runs in the last over against CSK skipper MS Dhoni. The spin bowling department is well taken care of by Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Adam Zampa.
