With brilliant captaincy in the Royals opening match this year, Steven Smith has proven his mettle yet again.
Jos Butler and Yashasvi Jaiswal will probably open the inning for the RR team.

S Smith, S Samson and R Uthappa will handle the middle order
Coming off a blow to his head, Steven Smith was out of match practice, but looked in sublime touch right from the very first ball he faced

Riyan Parag and Shreyas Gopal will take care of the spin bowling of the team.
