Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler had a poor start to his 2024 IPL campaign, scoring 11 off nine in the first game, including two boundaries. However, he is expected to bounce back strongly in the upcoming game, as his ability to score runs at pace cannot be judged solely based on the previous match.

Batter

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal has been in fantastic form this year. He scored a quick-fire knock of 24 runs in the last game at a strike rate of 200, comprising three fours and a six. He will be eager to add more runs to his tally in the next game.

All-rounder

Axar Patel

Axar Patel will be an important pick in today’s game as he will be the one threat to the right-handed studded lineup of Rajasthan Royals. He can also bat in the middle order and anchor the innings for his side. He failed to pick up a wicket in the previous game but scored 21 off 13 with three boundaries.

Bowler

Khaleel Ahmed

Khaleel Ahmed has been a wicket-taking bowler for the Capitals in the opening and death overs. He secured two wickets in the previous game while conceding 43 runs. He has bagged five wickets in as many matches against RR.
