Ajinkya Rahane (RR)

In the last game against SRH, RR started confidently with Ajinkya Rahane playing the role of sheet anchor. RR lost Rahul Tripathi early as he was bowled by Sandeep Sharma. Sanju Samson who had an incredible start to the IPL 2018 looked set to play another match-winning inning. The duo of Samson-Rahane put on 59 runs for the second wicket before Sanju was out.

Jinx ended up scoring 65* in the game but couldn’t take his team over the line, but he can be very lethal against DD as he has got his form back now.
