PBKS vs RR IPL 2023: 4 players Who Will Score Most Runs In Today’s Match

However, both the teams will have to depend on the results of the teams to stand a qualification chance. Punjab Kings are placed eight in the points table, while Rajasthan Royals are sixth due to a better Net Run Rate (NRR).

As the two teams gear up to clash against each other for the second time in the IPL 2023, let’s have a look at four players who can score most runs in the match.

Shikhar Dhawan: The Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain is the joint leading run-scorer for his team at the moment. He has scored 356 runs in ten matches at an average of 44.50 and a strike rate of 142.97. He has hit three fifties in the season so far.

Dhawan was dismissed for a golden duck in his side’s very crucial last match against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the same venue on Wednesday. He would be aiming for a stellar bounce back. Overall, the southpaw has played 23 matches against Rajasthan Royals and scored 662 runs at an average of 33.10 and a strike rate of 129.54.

Prabhsimran Singh: The 22-year-old youngster slammed a hundred in his second last outing against Delhi Capitals (DC). His 103-run innings off 65 balls consisted of 10 fours and six sixes. In the following match against the same opposition on Wednesday, he scored 22 off 19.

Prabhsimran is the joint-highest run-scorer for PBKS alongside Dhawan. He has scored 356 runs in 13 matches at an average of 27.38 and a strike rate of 150.84. Prabhsimarn scored 60 off 34 (seven fours and three sixes) when he faced RR earlier this season.

Sanju Samson: The Rajasthan Royals captain is currently the third-highest run-scorer for his team with 360 runs in three matches at an average of 32.72 and a strike rate of 154.50.

Samson scored 42 off 25 in his last outing against Punjab Kings earlier this season. Overall, the 28-year-old has scored 700 runs in 20 matches at an average of 41.17 and a strike rate of 144.32.

Shimron Hetmyer: The West Indies southpaw has shown a lot of flair in the ongoing season. In the last match against RCB, he scored 35 of his team’s 59 runs. The 19-ball innings consisted of one four and as many as four sixes.

Hetmyer would aim to carry forward his form and momentum in the upcoming game. Earlier this season against Punjab Kings (PBKS), Hetmyer scored 36 off 18 before getting run out. He has played five matches against PBKS and scored 100 runs at an average of 33.33 and a strike rate of 175.43.
