Shimron Hetmyer To Be Dropped? Rajasthan Royals' Probable XI For IPL 2024 Match Vs RCB

In the 19th match of the IPL 2024, Rajasthan Royals will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru at their beloved home ground, Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. 

The Sanju Samson-led RR have delivered stupendous performances so far, and have won all their three games. RCB, on the other hand, have struggled, and have only one win in their kitty and three losses.

So, Rajasthan have a lot going their way this season, and they would be itching to continue their winning momentum against an RCB team that has failed to gel as a unit so far. The star of the show for them has been Riyan Parag, and his coming of age performances have provided great stability to RR's batting line-up.

Sanju Samson & co. still have some concerns though, the dynamic duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler has not fired so far, and we might see a big score from atleast one of them in this game. 

Shimron Hetmyer too has not scored much runs and if these three get back in form, there will be nothing more positive for RR going ahead in the tournament. 

RR have an option of bringing in Rovman Powell in place of Hetmyer, but if needed, the current Windies T20I captain can come in as an Impact Player.

At number 3, there is Sanju Samson who played a brilliant knock in the first game and is looking determined to spend more time in the middle and make this edition a big one. Dhruv Jurel brings more depth with his great temperament and skills and it provides liberty to the top order to play more freely.

Ravi Ashwin, the legendary veteran has shown his credentials with the bat as well, along with the ball, and if Sandeep Sharma gets fit for this game, that would be a big boost for them. Chahal as usual is delivering with the ball consistently, and with Avesh Khan also nailing those yorkers against DC, RR look like a well-oiled unit.

Rajasthan Royals: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Sandeep Sharma, Avesh Khan, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal.


Impact Players: Rovman Powell, Nandre Burger, Tanush Kotian, Shubham Dubey, Kuldeep Sen.

Note: If RR bowl first, Nandre Burger will start in the XI, and Shimron Hetmyer can be used as an Impact Player in the second half.
