Ipl 2020 I Would Request With Folded Hands That Rajasthan Royals Should Use Jos Buttler Better Aakash Chopra Previews Clash Against Kxip

He made this observation while previewing the clash between the two teams in a video shared on his YouTube channel.

Aakash Chopra started by pointing out that today’s match is a must-win encounter for the Rajasthan Royals as a loss will eliminate them from the tournament.

While acknowledging that the Rajasthan Royals are unlikely to change their batting order after Ben Stokes’ match-winning century in their last encounter, the renowned commentator hoped that the franchise utilizes the batting might of Jos Buttler better.

Talking about Kings XI Punjab, Aakash Chopra observed that the KL Rahul-led outfit had turned their campaign around with wins in their last five matches. He, however, warned them that it would be difficult to keep the run going against the quality opposition in the IPL.

The former KKR player stated that Mayank Agarwal could replace Deepak Hooda in the KXIP line-up if the former is fit, causing a headache for the franchise after Mandeep Singh’s match-winning knock as an opener in their last match.

Aakash Chopra on the player battle to watch out for in the Rajasthan Royals vs Kings XI Punjab encounter

Aakash Chopra picked the contest between Jofra Archer and KL Rahul as the player battle to look forward to in the Rajasthan Royals vs Kings XI Punjab encounter.

He recalled that the KXIP captain had gotten the better of Archer in their last face-off with some classy strokes, although the Rajasthan Royals had the last laugh with Rahul Tewatia’s blazing knock at the end.

The former KKR player opined that KL Rahul would come up trumps against the Rajasthan Royals speedster again.

While recognising that a Rajasthan Royals win will make the tournament even more interesting, Aakash Chopra signed off by stating that Kings XI Punjab are likely to continue with their dream run.

A win for Kings XI Punjab would help them consolidate their position in the top four of the IPL 2020 points table. A positive result for the Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, would make the IPL 2020 playoffs qualification race even more interesting, with it likely to go right down to the wire.
