New Delhi: In the eight match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) will host Shikhar Dhawan’s Punajab Kings (PBKS) at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday, April 5.

RR on roll

Royals will be returning on the ground after the thumping victory against Sunsrisers Hyderabad (SRH). A win today will take RR on the top of the table due to massive run rate. The former champions started the tournament on a high note with all the department looks dominating. They have red-hot form Yashasvi Jaiswal, England’s white-ball hard hitting skipper Jos Buttler, and a commanding captain Sanju Samson. Their top-order is in terrific form and can dominate any bowling line-up in the tournament.

With ball they have Yuzvendra Chahal, who scalped 4 wickets in tournament opener for them and New Zealand’s pacer Trent Bolt also picked 2 wickets.
