RR have been most affected by player pullouts in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021). Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes are unavailable for various reasons while Andrew Tye too had to be replaced.
According to Chopra, though, RR still have decent players in their mix and need to be smart with their choices. Speaking about his playing XI for RR, the 44-year-old picked two left-handers as openers. Chopra said on his YouTube channel:

Livingstone was in scintillating form in The Hundred. Before that, the England international clobbered 103 off 43 balls against Pakistan in a T20I in Nottingham.
