Important IPL for KL Rahul!
Four from Sakariya to Rahul, sweeper to cover. wonderful shot!
KL Rahul was dropped from India’s final playing XI when he was the last of the national side in the T20I vs England earlier this year and then Indian skipper Virat Kohli made a statement that he wanted to open in the format . With the T20 World Cup next month, KL Rahul is still unsure of his place as the first-choice Indian opener. However if Virat does open then the team management also has the option of sending Rahul down one or two as he got two T20I tons of batting in the middle order. A lot will depend on how he performs in this IPL.

Despite top-class batting performances this season, they have lost five out of the eight matches they have played so far and another defeat will see them win all to qualify for the playoffs.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, have a similar situation but they played one game less. RR are sixth on the points table this season with three wins from their seven matches.
The winner of this game will get 8 points and will march to the fourth or fifth position in the points table depending on the run rate.

Six !!
Oh, is that so!!!! This is a big six off Livingstone’s bat. Great sound off the bat with timing power. Maximum 97 meters.
Liam Livingstone got a point to prove himself as he is a part of England’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, where he may not be his team’s first choice for a place in the playing XI, even That they had a great series home series as well. He scored a 42-ball century against Pakistan which was England’s fastest century in the format. The England team is full of top-class players like Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, David Malan, Eoin Morgan, Moeen Ali and Jos Buttler in the top 6. So, Livingstone has a lot to prove in this IPL season. His worth for a place in England’s starting XI in the T20 World Cup.
