The Royals did hope that their two high-profile openers Buttler and Jaiswal can compete in the IPL 2024 meet preview.
Match facts
Where does Rahul pitcher?
KL Rahul has just started one fit for the IPL after the 2016 season when he started against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a match against Bengaluru last month. 11 after picking up a rear wound while fielding. Yet for India, he established himself at the top of the order. Had Rahul drop down to develop the mid order now that the Lucknow Super Giants have added opener Devdutt Padikkal along with Quinton de Kock and Kyle Mayers as international options?
India's collection for the future T20 World Cup adds to the suspense. Rahul has never played T20Is since the 2022 World Cup and was n't selected in India's most new teams for line in South Africa and at home Afghanistan. And with Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Rohit Sharma competing for opening roles, Rahul might need to interview for a middle-order position.
The Super Giants have a power-packed bowling line-up that includes de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, and Marcus Stoinis, who has helped them reach the quarterfinals in each of their primary two IPL times wherever Rahul bat.
The Rajasthan Royals, their Sunday opponent, won four of their first five matches last year before losing five of their subsequent six, a turnaround in form that placed them outside the postseason areas. They may wish Jos Buttler and Jaiswal, their two well-known openers, will do well up this season. Buttler was supreme in Royals ' run to the final in 2022, scoring 863 runs, but had a poor 2023 season ( 392 runs with five ducks ). Jaiswal showed flashes of his enormous prospective in 2022, and subsequently blossomed in 2023, when he smashed 625 runs at a strike- level of 163.61. After winning five of their home Testing against England, Jaiswal enters the IPL, and Buttler did the same for Paarl Royals in the SA20, finishing third in the work figures.
Shamar Joseph does he make his IPL album?
With David Willey accessible to the Super Giants for the first few matches for personal reasons, West Indies quickly bowler Shamar Joseph may get his first outing in the IPL, having been signed as a replacement for Mark Wood. Shamar has limited T20 practice, but is a good strike- the- board option and operates at high speed, as he showed in his Examine heroics in Australia. Afghanistan's Navneen- ful- Haq is the other speed choice for LSG, and may offer more variants than Joseph.
The Royals ' top players include Buttler, Shimron Hetmyer, and Trent Boult, and Rovman Powell, who recently signed. After placing third overall in the Mian Mushtaq Ali trophy, Riyan Parag will be in the spotlight.

Stats that matter
In the IPL 2023 match that they played in Jaipur, the Royals lost four of their five games.
Royals were the fastest scorers in the batting powerplay last season, while LSG were the second slowest
Since the start of IPL 2022, Royals have hit more sixes ( 249 ) than any other team in the tournament.
Pitch and conditions
The average first- innings score in Jaipur in IPL 2023 was 172, and it's not a venue where the toss has played a massive role, with the team batting first winning on three occasions and the chasing team winning twice. The pitch is likely to assist spinners more than the fast bowlers.
