PBKS vs RR: IPL 2024 team news
There is no update on Liam Livingstone’s availability yet. If he does not return, Sikandar Raza will keep his place. Mullanpur has helped the seam bowlers in this season, and Punjab have an excellent attack for that.
Gujarat Titans ended Rajasthan Royals’ unbeaten streak in IPL 2024 with a last-ball win, but that should not upset them too much, though they will want to have Nandre Burger back. If they do not, Trent Boult and Avesh Khan will be supported by one of, if not both, Kuldeep Sen and Sandeep Sharma, with Navdeep Saini waiting in the wings.
