RR vs PBKS, Match 8: Top three Captain or Vice-captain choices

  1. Sanju Samson (RR): The Rajasthan Royals skipper performed really well in the first match and is looking in good touch. Samson also enjoys batting against Punjab Kings and hence will be a very crucial pick as the captain or vice-captain of the match. 
  2. Jos Buttler (RR): It was Jos Buttler's assault in the first match that assured a high target for Rajasthan Royals in the first match against SRH. The team will hope that he continues his form into this match and after seeing his consistency in the last season one can say that, Buttler will be a safe bet as the captain or vice-captain of the match. 
  3. Arshdeep Singh (PBKS): The Indian left-arm pacer has looked in good rhythm in the first match. Arshdeep Singh also has a good record against Rajasthan Royals and that makes him a risky yet great choice as the captain or vice-captain of the match.
