However, if Sanju Samson decides to retain the Playing XI, he may choose to open with Jos Buttler and demote Devdutt Padikkal to No 3.
Karun Nair may retain his place despite not proving his worth with just 13 runs. But as it was his only opportunity, he could retain his place. As for other positions, Rajasthan Royals have the middle-order sorted with Shimron Hetmyer while Riyan Parag and Ravichandran Ashwin too have played small cameos.
In the bowling department, Prasidh Krishna and Kuldeep Sen has been excellent while Yuzvendra Chahal is the Purple Cap holder. Trent Boult has misfired and RR will hope to get the best out of him against PBKS.
Rajasthan Royals Full Squad: Retained: Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Auction Picks: Trent Boult, Ravichandran Ashwin, Shimron Hetmyer, Devdutt Padikkal, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, Riyan Parag, KC Cariappa, Navdeep Saini, Obed Mccoy, Arunay Singh, Kuldeep Sen, Karun Nair, Dhruv Jurel, Tejas Baroka, Kuldip Yadav, Shubham Garhwal, Daryl Mitchell, Rassie Van Der Dussen, Nathan Coulter-Nile (ruled out), James Neesham.
