IPL
Rajasthan won the toss and elected to field Star all-rounder out of the team
Star all-rounder Jimmy Nisham is likely to miss out on the Rajasthan Royals’ playing XI in their final group match in the IPL. The change comes after Rajasthan’s Caribbean sensation Shimron Hetmeyer returned to the side.
Hetmeyer has not been with the team in the last two games. The actress, who returned to her hometown of Guyana with the birth of her child, had returned a few days ago. Hetmeyer, who entered the team’s bio-bubble, is sure to be in the playing XI.
With the return of Hetmeyer, the midfield of the team will be even stronger. With the arrival of Hetmeyer, one of the most prolific batsmen in the IPL, Rajasthan has made a comeback.
With the return of Hetmeyer, a new problem has arisen in the Rajasthan team. The IPL rule that only four foreign players can play is now a problem for Rajasthan.
In the last match, Rajasthan had openers Jose Butler, Trent Bolt, Jimmy Neesham and Obed McCoy. Butler and Bolt are sure to be on the team.
McCoy, who took a relatively good performance in the last match and took two wickets, is also likely to be with the team. In that case, Neesham would have to leave.
Rajasthan’s last group match will be against former champions Chennai Super Kings. Rajasthan, who have almost secured the play-offs, are currently third in the points table. If they win the match against Chennai, they can secure the play – off and second place in the points table.
Even if they lose to Chennai, Rajasthan will advance to the play-offs. Only not to be defeated by a large margin in a way that affects the net rate. However, Rajasthan will be looking to secure the play-offs by winning the final.
Chennai, meanwhile, have nothing to lose and are looking forward to bidding farewell to the tournament.
