Sanju Samson vs. Varun Chakravarthy
The aggressive stroke play of Sanju Samson will be vital for Rajasthan Royals at the top. Yet, KKR mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy can trouble Samson big time on a thrilling pitch. If Varun takes out Samson early, RR could find it tough to gain momentum.

Yashasvi Jaiswal vs. Sunil Narine
Yashasvi Jaiswal is a fearless batsman, but Sunil Narine's subtle variations can trouble him. If Jaiswal comes to the fore, he can steal the game away, but Narine's spinning can ensnare him if he gets the turn wrong.

Andre Russell vs. Jofra Archer
A battle of voltage is on the cards as KKR's power-hitter Andre Russell takes on RR's pace ace Jofra Archer. Archer's fast pace and wicked bouncers may test Russell, but if Russell gets to the ball, he can flip the game around.

Riyan Parag vs. Harshit Rana
RR's captain Riyan Parag will seek to stabilize the innings and shift gears when necessary. KKR's Harshit Rana, with his quick bowling, will try to stop Parag from playing with ease. This encounter may decide the middle overs.
