The next match of the 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is a bit unexpected one as both the teams have locked horns with each other on Sunday itself only the home team changes, Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Jaipur. While KXIP got the better of RR in their last fixture on Sunday as they were outplayed by the brilliance of KL Rahul who took his team home with 8 balls to spare. While Punjab registered the win at their home turf, Rajasthan will now be seeking revenge and will not leave any stone unturned to now win at their own den.

Apart from the revenge factor, there is no doubt about the fact that both the teams do have some surprise packages in their respective squads who can single-handedly take the game away from any opposition. Let us have a look at such players from both the teams:

Axar Patel (KXIP)

 KXIP
Axar Patel

A retention that has failed miserably for Kings XI Punjab. The left-arm all-rounder played in the first two matches for Punjab and was clobbered by the batsmen. he was brought back into the side in the last match. In the match against Mumbai Indians at the Holkar Stadium, Indore, Axar Patel managed to score only 13 runs from 12 balls and bowled only one over which went for 9 runs. However, in the last game against RR, he maintained an economy under 6 and picked the pried wicket of Ajinkya Rahane as well.
