RR vs PBKS Key battles:

Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Arshdeep Singh

Yashasvi Jaiswal will look to get RR off to a solid start, as he has been able to do in the season so far.

Jaiswal will have to deal with the pace of Arshdeep Singh, who found his mojo back in the last couple of matches before the suspension of the league.

Riyan Parag vs Yuzvendra Chahal

The contest between Riyan Parag and Yuzvendra Chahal will be interesting to watch, given Parag's nature of taking on the spinners in the middle overs.

Having said that, Chahal will look to outfox the batter with his bag of tricks and guide PBKS to an important win in the match scheduled to be played in Jaipur.

Prabhsimran Singh vs Jofra Archer

The leading run scorer for PBKS, Prabhsimran Singh, has been the backbone of the team's batting lineup with his measured approach at the top of the order. The right-hander will face the challenge of Jofra Archer.

Jofra has been the pick of the bowlers for RR and will look to get the batter of Prabhsimran Singh to restrict PBKS to a below-par total.

Shreyas Iyer vs Wanindu Hasaranga

Shreyas Iyer will be up against Wanindu Hasaranga in the RR vs PBKS clash. The Punjab Kings captain has been in good nick and will be willing to replicate the same performance in the upcoming match.

Wanindu Hasaranga has been the only bowler after Jofra Archer who has looked in some sort of form for the former champions, and would hope to put on a strong performance in the next game.

RR- Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Riyan Parag, Wanidu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer
