Both sides have a similar make-up. Two batsmen who like to play anchor in Gautam Gambhir and Ajinkya Rahane, and two destructive all-rounders in Glenn Maxwell and Ben Stokes. They also have a plethora of spin options. Yet, the main concern will be the batting for one and bowling for the other. Royals endured a problem of plenty in their tournament opener. Having five openers in the top six didn't help matters. While one game is too early to talk combinations, Royals will quickly need to identify who bats where.
