Grand League Punts

- Considering how the conditions have played out at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium this year, Ravindra Jadeja would be a great pick. In the first game between the two sides, Jadeja picked up two wickets and could have nearly had a third if not for a simple drop from Moeen Ali. Plus Jadeja has a good record against Rajasthan, with 20 wickets, at an average of just 21.6. 

- Jos Buttler might be struggling for form but he has always brought his 'A' game against the Super Kings. In eight clashes against the Men in Yellow, Buttler has scored 319 runs, averaging 53.17 with a high strike-rate of 146. Not just that, against MS Dhoni's men, Buttler has three half-centuries, one of which came earlier in the season. So, expect him to yet again be the differential factor between the two batting units.
