1 Jos Buttler (Captain)

Jos Buttler’s bat has gone awfully quiet in the last few games and the opening batter will look to be get back amongst the runs in the remaining fixtures. Thus far, the 2022 IPL Orange Cap winner has amassed 289 runs with three half-centuries in nine matches at a strike rate of 138.

In his last meeting with GT in Ahmedabad, Buttler failed against Mohammed Shami and was dismissed for a duck while chasing a target of 178. The wicketkeeper batter’s struggle against spinners is becoming apparent as he gave his wicket to Ravindra Jadeja and Piyush Chawla in the matches against CSK and MI, respectively. His form will be vital for the Royals in the business end of the season as his power-hitting skills can take apart any bowling unit in the league. The RR team management will expect match-winning performances from him in the upcoming games.

2 Mohammed Shami

Shami has been in the form of his life in IPL 2023 so far picking up 17 wickets in nine matches at an economy of 7.05. He is the joint-leading wicket-taker in the competition, along with CSK’s Tushar Deshpande. In the previous two matches, Shami has exuded confidence with his superb bowling performances.

In GT’s seven-wicket win against KKR, Shami contributed with figures of 33/3. While in his side’s five-run loss against the Capitals, he produced fire with the ball racking up figures of 11/4 in his extraordinary spell. In the previous encounter against, RR he picked up 3 for 25 in his four overs and is expected to continue it in tonight’s reverse fixtures.

3 Yashasvi Jaiswal

Jaiswal has been RR’s top performer so far this season scoring 428 runs in nine matches at a strike rate of 159 and is the second highest run-getter in the league. In the last two games, Jaiswal has scored more than 200 runs, including a maiden century against MI in the last game. He will look to make a similar impact against GT and help RR do the double over the defending champions.
