Rajasthan Royals made a staggering start to Dream11 Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) by defeating three-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Sanju Samson and skipper Steve Smith, who scored 74 and 69 respectively, were the chief architects of RR’s triumph and the duo will like to extend their stellar form in the tournament. On the eve of Rajasthan’s next game against Kings XI Punjab, the team franchise shared a candid picture of Smith and Samson, asking fans to come up with intriguing captions. Well, the fans didn’t take long in reacting as the comment section got flooded with interesting remarks.

From the looks, it seems like Smith and Samson were involved in a fun chat as both were smiling. Seeing this, fans assumed that the duo was talking about their batting exhibition last night. Samson took the CSK bowlers by storm in the initial overs and scored 74 off mere 32 deliveries. On the other hand, Captain Smith, who opened the batting, anchored the innings and scored 69 off 47 balls. Many fans also dragged Jofra Archer while posting caption as the England pacer scored 27 off eight balls, powering the Men in Pink to 216/7.

Rajasthan will undoubtedly take the field against Punjab with a lot of confidence. However, their playing XI will be one to watch out. With Jos Buttler coming back in the team, Smith is likely to go back down the order while Robin Uthappa and Tom Curran could warm the benches. Notably, KXIP thrashed Royal Challengers Bangalore by 97 runs in their last game and will be determined to get the batter of RR too.
