In the last game against Gujarat Titans (GT), Sanju scored 60 runs off 32 balls, including three fours and six sixes. His partnership with Shimron Hetmyer helped RR to stay alive while chasing 178 runs. Therefore, seeing such an inning in the last game, fans can expect him to score big against KL Rahul and his men.

This star opener and LSG skipper has been in the headlines in recent times due to his poor run of form with the bat. For team India, across all three formats, Rahul failed miserably in recent months. So, all eyes have been on him since the start of this ongoing tournament as KL Rahul has been criticised heavily recently by fans and former cricketers.

Before the last match against Punjab Kings (PBKS), KL Rahul scored only 81 runs in four matches. But, against PBKS, he scored 74 runs off 56 balls, including eight fours and one six. Seeing him finally back in form, fans were happy and they can now hope for another big knock against RR.         

Shimron Hetmyer

This Caribbean batter has been in great form with the bat for RR in the middle order. As of now in IPL 2023, Shimron Hetmyer has scored 183 runs in five matches, at a strike rate of 184.85. In the last game against Gujarat Titans (GT), he played a match-winning knock of 56* runs from 26 balls. 

In that innings, Hetmyer smashed two fours and five sixes. This season, he has smashed 15 sixes so far. In all matches so far, he has come up with some quickfire and impactful knocks. So, Hetmyer can produce another top knock against LSG in front of the home crowd when both teams will be in action.
