Yuzvendra Chahal  - Mastering the middle overs

IPL Live Score 2024 PBKS vs RR, Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals: The Rajasthan Royals spinner is once again putting up a solid show in the middle overs in IPL. The ace-spinner is once again in running for the Purple Cap and has picked join-most wickets thus far - 10 alongside Jasprit Bumrah but the latter is leading the race with a better economy rate. 

Most wickets in overs 7-16 in IPL 2024 

Yuzvendra Chahal - 8 

Kuldeep Yadav - 6 

Harshal Patel - 6

Sanju Samson has been one of the most impressive captains this season and that has been reflected in Rajasthan Royals' results too. Samson has led his team from the front and scored 246 runs in 5 matches at an astonishing average of 82. He is showing a lot of maturity and batting like a leader who is on a mission to bring back the glory days of the Royals. He is also getting good support from his players who have put collective efforts on the field thus far. 

It is going to be an away clash for the Royals but they will enter as the favourites. Sanju Samson-led RR are high on  confidence with their current performance. Out of the 26 matches played between both, RR has managed to 15 of them. However, PBKS had the last laugh in 2023 where they prevailed over Rajasthan.

 PBKS bowling coach Charles Langeveldt also praised rising stars Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma who have been the highlight with the bat for the past two games. "Both Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma have been brilliant. Everyone on the team is so happy for them and what they have achieved. They have stepped up to the plate. Hopefully, they can kick on and have a great season. They have been awesome and everyone in the dressing room has appreciated the efforts and the commitments the two have shown to the team," he said.

Yuzvendra Chahal on the verge of historic double century

Ace spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is on the verge of scripting massive history in the Indian Premier League. The leg-spinner needs only three more wickets to become the first bowler in IPL history to reach 200 dismissals. The Rajasthan Royals star is the highest wicket-taker in IPL history with 197 scalps in 150 games and has a healthy read over second-placed Dwayne Bravo (183) and Piyush Chawla (181), who is third. He has claimed 10 wickets this season thus far and is second in the race of Purple Cap.

Two rising stars of Punjab Kings

 Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma are the two rising stars for Punjab Kings this season as they led them to win over Gujarat Titans and took the game to final ball against SRH but ended up two runs short. The two batters scripted a partnership of 66* off 27 balls on the night, once again showcasing their on-field camaraderie. While Ashutosh remained unbeaten on 33 off 15 balls, Shashank finished on 46 not out in 25 balls. On being asked about the secret behind their tremendous partnerships, Shashank revealed how the belief shown by the team management and coaching staff has helped them gain confidence.

Kagiso Rabada - Leader of PBKS bowling attack

 South African speedster Kagiso Rabada bowled brilliantly against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the powerplay overs earlier this week and finished the game with figures of 32/1. The right-arm bowler has so far taken 7 wickets in 5 games at an average of 24.71 and PBKS bowling coach Charles Langeveldt said that Rabada's positive mindset has been a big factor in Punjab's improving bowling performance "We are very happy with our bowling performance. You always want to improve in the powerplay and you always want to get wickets. With the impact player rules, there are now eight batters, so sometimes you will leak runs. In the last game, we were brilliant and Kagiso Rabada set the tone with his first over," he said.
