Top-order: Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c & wk)

Jos Buttler emerged as the top scorer in the last edition and was the key force behind RR’s entry into the playoffs. At the other end was Yashasvi Jaiswal, who perfectly played the role of an aggressor in this partnership. At the number three position, Sanju Samson will look to be his best to contribute to the team’s success like the last edition.
