IPL 2021: 3 Stars From Rajasthan Royals Who Will Be Game Changers Against Royal Challengers Bangalore

Rajasthan Royals (RR) succumbed to their second defeat in the previous game and the onus will be on them to make a comeback against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their next fixture. Rajasthan Royals have won one game and lost two so far in their campaign and a win here could take them to the fifth position in the standing as they are in the seventh position now due to a poor net run rate after the previous game against CSK.

Sanju Samson hasn’t had much of a say after the first game heroics while the remaining Indian contingent is far more inexperienced to blame them. Jos Buttler and David Miller did show some positives for the Royals in the last two games but they will need a lot more from the likes of Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia and Shivam Dube.

Here are 3 stars from Rajasthan Royals who will be game-changers against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

3 Stars From Rajasthan Royals Who Will Be Game Changers:

Sanju Samson:

Royals will depend a lot on their new skipper Sanju Samson to deliver, but he has been inconsistent and it has been a major issue for him over the years. Samson plays an important part in the Rajasthan Royals batting lineup and there isn’t much experience in the lineup after him.

He needs to make sure that his shot selection is precise and needs to keep contributing. When he finds his feet, it is hard to stop him and can be a nightmare for the bowlers. He almost pulled off a victory for the Royals in the first game with a magnificent century and that is the impact he can have on his day. For Rajasthan to show progress, the main weapon will be Sanju Samson and he must be aware of it.

Jos Buttler:

Jos Buttler has been in really good touch in the previous game and he is one of those players who can change a match around with some excellent ball striking. His individual performances have been good but Royals will be hoping that he stays in the crease for a bit more time than he actually does.

Buttler has scored 76 runs in three games so far and 49 of those came in the previous game against Chennai Super Kings. He was starting to cut loose until the dry ball came in and affected his dismissal the very next ball. He hit five fours and two sixes in no time and was starting to take the game towards the Rajasthan Royals. He has shown his match-winning abilities in the past, and he will be a game-changer if he gets going.

Chris Morris:

Chris Morris pulled off a stunning victory for the Rajasthan Royals in the game against Delhi Capitals but could not repeat his heroics in the previous game against CSK. However, he has bowled really so far in the tournament and has picked up five wickets in three games at a decent economy rate.

He finished with figures of two wickets for 33 runs in his four-over spell in a high-scoring game against CSK and got the main wicket of Faf Du Plessis.

Morris has been the most expensive player in the IPL  Auction history and he has still shown in glimpses of his capability with the bat and ball. He has a big role to play in the Royals set up and needs to make sure that he keeps contributing in any of the departments.
