Jos Buttler: Two massive knocks in the season has given Jos Buttler the Orange Cap already and he is in stunning form as RR head into Lucknow Super Giants. Rajasthan will want Buttler to bat deep to make an impact.
KL Rahul: KL Rahul has been in decent form, but his strike-rate issues persist and it’s something Lucknow Super Giants will want resolved at the start of this season. Against a strong Rajasthan attack, it will be interesting to see how Rahul plays.
TIP: Jos Buttler is in terrific form and you can back him at 3.46 to be the top batter for RR.
