RR Look to Bounce Back
On the pitch, Rajasthan Royals will need to make a big comeback in the tournament. After registering victories in the first four games, RR will not be able to carry forward the same momentum.
Skipper Riyan Parag has not been in form and he needs to contribute in the upcoming games.RR will be up against PBKS next Tuesday. PBKS team, led by skipper Shreyas Iyer and head coach Ricky Ponting have improved their performance a lot from last year. They look to be a balanced side and would be a tough match for the team.
