Rajasthan is in with more questions. Their middle order has not performed yet, with the middle overs very slow for them. Nitish Rana looks good, and at the top, Yashashvi has been pretty solid, but the others have yet to step up. Sanju Samson's availability adds to concerns, with a side strain causing him to retire hurt against the Capitals.

Lucknow started their season without their first-choice pacers, and now with the return of Mayank Yadav, their pace attack comes close to full strength.

Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants: Players to Watch

Mayank Yadav

Mayank Yadav only played four games last season but he managed to leave a lasting impact. He played for India in the interim and is now back with his 150ks pace and accurate bowling. Can he have the same affect though having lost a lot of time to injury?

Yashashvi Jaiswal

After a slow start, Jaiswal has found fluency. He is the only one firing though in the top three and his role hence becomes all the more important with little support down the order.
