KL Rahul

The Indian batsman is in red-hot form at the moment and although he has not got big scores, KL Rahul’s top order hitting has seen KXIP get off to scorching starts. He has scored runs at an average of 36.50 and has recorded a strike rate of 164.97, which is why RR might have a very tough time if he manages to get going tonight.

The opening bowlers need to be absolutely perfect tonight if the right-hander is to be contained and hence, perhaps it is time for RR’s big money signing Jaydev Unadkat to deliver a tight opening spell.

He has gone for 10.38 runs an over so far in 8 games and has picked up 7 wickets. Needless to say, he has not been as good as he was last season for Rising Pune Supergiant. However, he needs to regain his control and hold his own against Rahul. It will be a battle that will set the tone for the game.
