The 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has entered its final stages as in next 10 days or so the league stages will be finished and the much-awaited playoffs will be commenced. However, the next match of the league stages will be played between the two teams which had a pretty contrasting journey so far in the ongoing season of IPL, Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Rajasthan. The game will be a do-or-die one for the hosts, whereas a win here for CSK will help them to enter the playoffs with ease. In the last game between them in Pune, the hosts crushed the visitors dominatingly.

Despite the fact that both the teams have had a contrasting journey so far in IPL 2018, RR and CSK do have a bunch of some surprise packages in the respective squads. Let us have a look at such players from both the teams.

Jos Buttler (RR)

The fastest century scorer of England, Jos Buttler had batted marvelously well for Mumbai Indians in the last season, this year a lot was expected from him by the Rajasthan Royals. The wicketkeeper-batsman disappointed at first. In the first seven matches, Buttler scored only 120 runs without any powerful innings. In the rain-shortened game against Delhi Daredevils, he was sent to open and he just exploded. Even in the last match against KXIP, he scored his 51 tuns in no time and single-handedly raised a good score for RR. In the return fixture, he slammed 82 runs and made sure RR had a defendable total.
