Captaincy will be on focus as Punjab Kings take on Rajasthan Royals in IPL on Monday night in Mumbai. The team from Punjab with a new name is expecting to improve on their performance from last year when they finished 6th.
Captain KL Rahul will once again be in focus as this could be his final season with Punjab Kings if they fail to qualify for the playoffs. Rajasthan Royals too will be under focus due to a change in captaincy as Sanju Samson now takes over the reins from Steve Smith.
With no Jofra Archer yet, the fast bowling department looks week for the team in pink. Both teams will be hoping for a winning start to the campaign as the Royals hold the edge in head to head record with 12 wins from 21 outings.
