Teams Preview
Rajasthan Royals
The franchise certainly went on a spending spree and bought South Africa all-rounder, Chris Morris, for a whopping fee of 16.5 crore. With this acquisition, Morris became the most experienced player to be sold in the history of Indian Premier League.
Besides Morris, England’s Liam Livingstone, all-rounder Shivam Dube and Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman are notable signings made by Rajasthan for the 14th edition of Indian Premier League.
In the batting department, the onus will be on the likes of Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson and Ben Stokes to do the bulk of the scoring. Last year, Sanju Samson finished the competition as leading run-scorer for Rajasthan. In 14 outings, Samson accumulated 375 runs at a strike rate of 158.89, which includes three half-centuries to his name.
Besides Samson, wicket-keeper opener, Jos Buttler, showed decent form with the bat and scored 328 runs with two half-centuries to his name.
Ben Stokes, Chris Morris and Rahul Tewatia will make the middle-order for Rajasthan Royals for this opening encounter.
In the bowling department, the side will be relying on the likes of Mustafizur Rahman, Shreyas Gopal and Jaydev Unadkat to deliver wickets in this contest.

In the batting department, the side will be relying on the likes of Lokesh Rahul, Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal to deliver the bulk of the runs.
