Rajasthan Royals:
The Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals team suffered a setback at the start of the season with the exit of Jofra Archer earlier and now its star all-rounder Ben Stokes has also been ruled out of the season due to injury.
It will be interesting to see who gets a chance to replace Stokes with either David Miller or Liam Livingstone in the team.
Expected XI:
Manan Vohra, Jose Butler, Sanju Samson (captain), Liam Livingstone, Shivam Dubey, Ryan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Shreyas Gopal, Chetan Sakaria, Mustafizur Rahman Delhi Capitals:
Under the captaincy of Rishabh Pant,
Delhi Capitals have won their first match. However, it is difficult to play his two-star fast bowlers even in this match. With Enrich Nortze being Corona positive, he may have to wait longer to join the team. While Kagiso Rabada came to India with him, there is doubt about his playing as well.
Expected XI:
Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant (captain), Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer, Chris Woakes, R Ashwin, Avesh Khan, Kagiso Rabada / Tom Karan, Amit Mishra
Rishabh Pant or Sanju Samson Who will compensate Stokes,
Sanju, who struggled till the last ball in the last match and made a century, this time the biggest question will be who will compensate for all-rounder Ben Stokes.
This English cricketer of the Rajasthan team has been ruled out of the entire series due to a fracture in his finger.
Rajasthan’s team may include Liam Livingstone in exchange for Stokes.
Players like Jose Butler, Shivam Dubey, and Ryan Parag will be pressured to perform better and support the captain.
In the first match, all three had failed to convert a good start into a big inning.
