PBKS vs RR Live Score Updates of IPL 2024: Rajasthan Royals Opt to Bowl First; Shikhar Dhawan Misses Out for Punjab Kings
Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and Sanju Samson and co will bowl first. The big news is that Shikhar Dhawan will not lead Punjab Kings tonight as he is out with an injury.
Punjab Kings face a stern challenge at home as they lock horns with Rajasthan Royals. The Shikhar Dhawan-led side have performed well but in patches but will need to get their act together as they take on Rajasthan Royals, a side which has established itself as one of the early title contenders. Punjab Kings have managed just two wins out of five matches and are placed eighth on the IPL 2024 points table. With games coming in thick and fast, Shikhar Dhawan and his men would look to bounce back and there's surely no better time to script a turnaround.

Rajasthan Royals on the other hand, would aim at bouncing back to form after suffering their first loss of the tournament. Sanju Samson's decision to not use Trent Boult in the last over against Gujarat Titans, which was eventually bowled by Avesh Khan did raise a few eyebrows but the inaugural champions will look to return to winning ways. Given the recent form, Rajasthan Royals are firm favourites to win this match but they will surely not take Punjab Kings lightly, given the way Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma have been striking the ball towards the death.
Punjab Kings Full Squad for IPL 2024: Shikhar Dhawan (c), Matthew Short, Prabhsimran Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Sikandar Raza, Rishi Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Atharva Taide, Arshdeep Singh, Nathan Ellis, Sam Curran, Kagiso Rabada, Harpreet Brar, Rahul Chahar, Harpreet Bhatia, Vidwath Kaverappa, Shivam Singh, Harshal Patel, Chris Woakes, Ashutosh Sharma, Vishwanath Pratap Singh, Shashank Singh, Tanay Thyagarajann, Prince Choudhary, Rilee Rossouw.
