The Indian Premier League (IPL) is now on in full swing and we’re going to bring to you Match 4 of IPL 2021 today, which will be the last of the first round of games. This is the last pair of teams that is yet to play a game in IPL 2021 and we’ll recommend you watch the toss as these two teams haven’t yet announced their team combinations and a few international players are still completing their days in quarantine before they can enter the IPL 2021 bubble.
We have Rajasthan Royals in action who finished in 8th place on the IPL 2020 points table and there’s not way to go but up from there, now playing with a new captain. As for their opponents, it’s Punjab Kings playing under a new franchise name and hoping for their fortunes to turn around, yet to win an IPL title.

Rajasthan Royals
With 375 runs in IPL 2020, Sanju Samson was their top scorer and we expect him to keep up the good work in IPL 2021 because he usually starts off every season well before his form tapers away. He definitely makes our RR vs PBKS fantasy team while Shivam Dube is another Indian talent who we think should be picked. He has come in from RCB and if picked, he could be the x-factor all-round option that RR requires.
Among the overseas players, the English trio of Archer, Buttler and Stokes are sure to play and should all be picked. Along with them, South Africa’s Chris Morris is likely to make the cut and being the most expensive player at the IPL 2021 Auction, he can’t be left out. We’re left with a very inexperienced Indian bowling attack and from them, the only one we’d like to add to our RR vs PBKS Dream11 team is leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal.
Punjab Kings
Captaining the side is KL Rahul who was the top scorer for Punjab last season and more recently, he got a fifty and a century in the 3-match ODI series against England which means he’s in brilliant form as of now. Nicholas Pooran and Dawid Malan could be the overseas batters which means Chris Gayle may sit out today. Jhye Richardson is sure for our My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) fantasy team as he was paid a hefty contract at the IPL 2021 Auction.

With plenty of T20 experience in T20 leagues all across the world, Chris Jordan is likely to make the playing eleven as well today. He should be picked because he almost always bowls 2 overs in the death overs. With former leg-spinner Anil Kumble as the bowling coach, he’s probably worked a lot with the leggies and that’s why we think the young Ravi Bishnoi is going to be vital to the side, after getting 12 scalps last season.
