NDTV
IPL 2021: As Rajasthan Royals take on Punjab Kings in their opening match in Mumbai on Monday, another high-scoring contest seems to be on the cards as both teams posses some serious fire-power in their batting line-up.
Another battle of big-hitters is on the cards when KL Rahul's Punjab Kings (PBKS) take on the Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR), two line-ups dotted with expansive stroke-makers and in pursuit of a winning start to their IPL campaigns in Mumbai on Monday. Rajasthan will be banking heavily on their swashbuckling all-rounder Ben Stokes. Stokes will be keen to get some runs under his belt and so will be the likes of Englishman Jos Buttler and newly-appointed skipper Samson, who is a mine-field of talent. The Royals could opt to open with the highly-rated Yashasvi Jaiswal and Buttler. While Samson, who would be itching to prove a point, and Stokes would then form strong middle-order. If the four fire on all cylinders, they can pummel any attack into submission and Punjab would be no exception on the Wankhede track, which is usually batting-friendly.More Related News
