Rajasthan remain in contention for a playoff berth but have struggled for consistency in recent outings, managing just one win in their last five matches. Led by Riyan Parag, RR are coming into this crucial fixture after suffering a setback against the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. They currently sit sixth on the points table with 12 points from 12 matches and will be desperate to bounce back in front of their home crowd.

However, Rishabh Pant’s side have shown signs of resurgence late in the tournament, registering impressive victories over Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings. They will now aim to continue their momentum and climb off the bottom of the standings.
