New Delhi: The 52nd and 53rd matches of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022) are scheduled to be held today i.e. on Saturday, May 7. There are four teams today. Today, Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) are scheduled to clash and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Three of these teams have reached here after winning their last match, but the special thing is that in IPL 2022, these four teams remain in the race for the playoffs. So let's talk about today's first match, in which Punjab and Rajasthan have to clash.
Punjab Kings had defeated table topper Gujarat Titans (GT) in their previous encounter. Mayank Agarwal, the captain of the Punjab team and the team, who have done well against Gujarat, would like to avoid any changes in the team, as all the players are contributing to the team and the current final XI looks balanced. Maybe you'll see a change in that way.
Rajasthan Royals (RR), who won 6 matches while batting first, have lost many matches while chasing the target. In such a situation, captain Sanju Samson would like to maintain depth in the batting. The team has five main bowlers. In such a situation, the team will again go to the field with 6 batsmen. In this situation, there is no scope for any change in the Rajasthan team.
Punjab's likely final XI:- Mayank Agarwal (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Rishi Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh and Sandeep Sharma
Rajasthan's probable final XI:- Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson (captain and wicketkeeper), Karun Nair, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Sen
