Sanju Samson would like to continue his dream form while the presence of Jos Buttler puts Rajasthan Royals on even keel with Kings XI Punjab in an IPL game which promises to be yet another six-hitting contest here today. Coming into the match after morale-boosting victories, both KXIP and the Royals would look to build a winning momentum after starting the tournament as underdogs.

Buttler, who missed the first match due to quarantine rules as he reached the UAE separately with his family, is expected to open alongside Yashashvi Jaiswal while Steven Smith will take David Miller's position in the batting order. Tom Curran and Jofra Archer will again complete the four-player overseas quota. "I am really excited to play my first game. It was great to be back training with the boys. There's a great vibe around the team, so I'm really looking forward to taking the field," Buttler said on match eve.
