Rahul & Buttler batting odds – Kings XI vs. Royals IPL betting tips

Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals are ready to clash in the 38th match of the Indian Premier League in Indore on Sunday.

Both teams will be desperate to register a win in this match after suffering defeats in their previous matches.

Punjab suffered a 13-run defeat against Sunrises Hyderabad in their last fixture, whereas Delhi Daredevils registered a four-run win in Rajasthan’s last match, courtesy of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.

For Punjab, it will be interesting to see if West Indies explosive opener Chris Gayle will take part, given he is franchises’ second-highest run-getter with 252 runs in just four matches.

Weather Gayle plays or not, the team management will be having their hopes on young KL Rahul to lead the team’s batting effort, as he has already managed to score 268 runs in seven matches at an average of 38.28.

In the bowling department, Australia pacer Andrew Tye will be leading Punjab’s bowling efforts as he has already managed to claim nine wickets, and he will be supported by young pacer Ankit Rajpoot and Afghanistan’s leggie Mujeeb Ur Rahman, who have claimed seven wickets each.

The major worry for the team will be the form of captain Ravichandran Ashwin with the bowl, as he only claimed one wicket in last four matches.

Rajasthan will be desperate for a better show as they are currently placed on seventh position on the league table, but a win could lift them to fifth position.

In the batting department, the focus will be on the likes of young Sanju Samson and Captain Ajinkya Rahane to produce the goods for the team, as they’ve scored 282 and 225 runs respectively at averages of 40.28 and 37.50.

Jos Buttler’s return to form in the previous game must be another good news for Rajasthan going into this match, as he has the ability to turn things around at any given time.

On the other hand, pacers Jofra Archer and Jaydev Unadkat will lead the bowling attack as they’ve claimed seven wickets each.
