Jaipur: Rajasthan Royals are at a critical juncture in their campaign this season. With two wins in five matches and sitting seventh on the table, the Royals are eager to harness their home advantage and climb up. Royals now face Royal Challengers Bengaluru ( RCB ) on Sunday here at Sawai Mansingh Stadium .
Captain Sanju Samson will carry the RR batting. It is, however, missing Jos Buttler ’s explosive presence. Buttler’s departure after seven years in the franchise leaves a void at the top.
