The Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan, in the meantime, has started well in the tournament. They had convincing wins against Hyderabad and Mumbai but they lost to Bangalore in their third match of the season.
Jos Buttler, with the bat, and Yuzvendra Chahal, with the ball, have been brilliant for the team. Buttler is currently leading the charts of the most runs, 205, in his three innings. He has an average of 102.5 with a century to his name. Chahal, on the other hand, has seven wickets in the three matches. He also has a great economy, with 5.25 runs per over. Rajasthan will next play against Lucknow on the 10th of April. Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai will host the match.
