It has not been an ideal campaign of any sort for Shreyas Iyer.

The skipper would be looking to get a good innings under his belt ahead of the all-important playoffs next week.

Rajasthan Royals would be looking towards their premium leg spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal to scalp the wicket of Shreyas Iyer. The Team India spinner has had a great campaign once again and would be looking to end the league stage on a high note.

A player who has made a remarkable comeback in this edition of the Indian Premier League is Riyan Parag. He has surely cemented his place in the Rajasthan Royals team and would be looking to pile on more runs in the final game of the league stage tomorrow. His knocks have come under pressure which shows how much value he adds to the Royals’ batting line-up.

The task to stop the in-form batter would be given to the mystery spinner of the Kolkata Knight Riders, Varun Chakravarthy. The spinner has had a great campaign and especially in the second half he has become the go-to man for his team whenever they need wickets. The spinner would be looking to add more wickets to his tally as the league stage comes to a conclusion.

The skipper of the Rajasthan Royals has had a remarkable season and is currently in the top five run getters of the tournament. His amazing campaign has earned him a spot in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup. He has not had the ideal innings for the past couple of matches but would look to bring his best for the last league match of the season. 

Another person who has been in the form of his life is Sunil Narine. The all-rounder would be looking to weave his magic with the ball as he looks to get the prized wicket of the opposition skipper in the upcoming game in Guwahati. His variations are his biggest strength and would be looking to deploy that tomorrow against the Rajasthan Royals.
