RR vs PBKS: 4 Players who can take Most Wickets in the Match

Here are four names who can star for their team in the match between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings and take the most number of wickets.

Yuzvendra Chahal (RR): Last season's purple cap winner, Chahal started the 2023 season with a four-wicket haul in the opener and is expected to continue his wicket-taking run in the Indian Premier League. A wicket today will see him surpass great Lasith Malinga to become the second-highest wicket-taker in IPL.

Kagiso Rabada (PBKS): The South African quick Rabada, who has always been in the race for most wickets in a season, adds a boost to PBKS as he is available for the rest of the season. He is expected to strike in the powerplay and the death overs.

Arshdeep Singh (PBKS): The in-form Indian pacer displayed his ability to strike in the powerplay with his swing and in the death overs with his yorkers. He was among the wickets in PBKS' opener and will enjoy bowling in tandem with Rabada.

Trent Boult (RR): The veteran Kiwi left-arm pacer was deadly in the opening match of the season, removing the top two of the opposition's three batters in the first over. He has also been among the top wicket-takers every season and is expected to strike for Royals today.

Apart from the four, Royals' seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and Punjab Kings' leg-spinner Rahul Chahar will also be among the wickets in today's IPL match between RR and PBKS in Guwahati.
