RR’s top run-scorer Sanju Samson looked in excellent touch in the previous game against KXIP on Sunday night, before he perished against the run of play and his dismissal started a slide that saw the team eventually end up with a below par score. Although he is an excellent player of fast bowling, spin has proven to be a challenge for him and it is his duel with KXIP’s Mujeeb Ur Rahman that is going to have a huge bearing on the game.

Samson is RR’s highest run-scorer and his wicket will be a big blow to their batting effort, which is why it won’t be surprising if Ashwin brings on his strike bowler as soon as the wicketkeeper-batsman comes in to bat. In the previous game, Mujeeb broke the back of the RR innings by taking 3/27 in his 4 overs and was awarded the man of the match. He has taken a total of 12 wickets so far and has recorded an outstanding economy rate of 6.85.
