In the second phase of IPL, there will be a tough competition between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Tuesday. Under the leadership of KL Rahul, the team of Punjab will enter the field, on the other hand, the command of Rajasthan Royals is in the hands of Sanju Samson. Both the teams have a chance to reach the fourth position in the points table by winning the match here on Tuesday.
The good thing for the Royals is the weak bowling of Punjab, which does not have much experienced bowlers except Shami. Spin will be responsible for Adil Rashid or Ravi Bishnoi. Arshdeep Singh is not looking that strong in fast bowling.

In the next four weeks, Indian players like Rahul Tewatia, Riyan Parag, Jaydev Unadkat and Chetan Sakariya will be responsible for taking the team to the playoffs as Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer are not playing.
Rahul and Mayank Agarwal can open the innings for Punjab while Gayle will be the biggest threat to the Royals bowlers.
