Sanju hammered a blistering fifty while Smith made a more serene half-ton. However, Royals will be hoping for some more solid outings from middle-order mainstays David Miller and Robin Uthappa. Young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal too will get another chance to prove his credential. Jofra Archer will be the spearhead of bowling department. The lone change they could bring could be the inclusion of Jos Buttler, and in that case Miller may sit out.
