Rajasthan Royals (RR) are currently taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the final game of the season at the Assam Cricket Association (ACA) Stadium in Guwahati. RR are coming into this game on the back of three back to back victories against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI). Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been the standout performer forRR with the bat, having scored 122 runs from 3 games at a strike rate of 249. However, as the playing XI was named for RR in this game vs RCB, his name was surprisingly left out.
Why Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Is Not Part Of Playing XI Vs RCB
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is not in the playing XI. However, he has been named among the four impact substitutes. Since RR have won the toss and elected to bowl first, he has been left out of the playing XI for now. However, when they come out to bat in the second innings, the 15-year-old will definitely be back on the ground, opening with Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Sooryavanshi will be coming in this game fresh off his 14-ball 39 against MI, where he hit Jasprit Bumrah for two big sixes.
Rajasthan Royals have made just one change in their playing XI. Tushar Deshpande is not playing, and Brijes Sharma has come in his place.
