The Sawai Mansingh Stadium has seen two matches so far in IPL 2024. The bowlers had some movement at the initial stages of both games. Hence, pacers who look for swing with the new ball can be crucial for the game.
In both games, we saw that with the progression of the match, the wicket slowed and diminished movement. With variations in their repertoire, the spinners and death-over specialists significantly impacted the end of the game.
3 Important players for RR vs RCB
Jos Buttler
The English opener has been a flop show in the tournament so far. Jos Buttler has scored only 35 runs from 3 innings in this tournament. But he is a class act and is expected to return to form soon.

Buttler's record against RCB also speaks in his favour. He has scored runs at an average of 34.7, while having a strike rate of 146.0 against RCB.
Yuzvendra Chahal
The Indian leg-spinner has looked in great form with the ball in IPL 2024. Yuzvendra Chahal has six wickets under his belt in three matches and is playing an impactful role for RR in the middle overs.

Riyan Parag
The young Indian batter has unveiled a version 2.0 of himself in IPL 2024. From being a liability for the team in the past seasons, Riyan Parag has emerged as the team's best asset. He has already scored 181 runs in three matches and will once again be a key cog in the RR mechanism for this game.
