Players to watch out for
F du Plessis (Bangalore): F du Plessis is a consistent performer for Bangalore in the ongoing season of the Indian Playerzpot League. The 38-year-old is currently the leading run-getter of the season, aggregating 343, including four fifties, at an average of 66.80 and a strike rate of 166.50 in six matches so far. In the previous match against Punjab, du Plessis smashed 84 off 46 balls, comprising 5 fours and as many sixes at a strike rate of 150.00. Faf du Plessis’ attacking style of batting has always been a threat to the opposition’s bowling line-up. Bangalore’s captain can score quick runs in the powerplay and accelerate the innings in the middle overs. Rajasthan’s bowling line-up will have a task cut out to stop Faf du Plessis’ carnage in the upcoming match.
Y Jaiswal (Rajasthan): Y. Jaiswal has been impressive in the Indian Playerzpot League 2023. The 21-year-old is one of the reliable batters for Rajasthan who has the ability to unleash the firepower in the powerplay. In the ongoing season, Jaiswal has scored 180 runs, including two fifties, at an average of 30 and a strike rate of 142.86. In the previous match against Lucknow, Y. Jaiswal scored 44 of 35 balls but wasn’t enough to hand a win to Rajasthan. However, Jaiswal has already shown glimpses of his talent and become a threat to the opposition’s bowling line-up. Jaiswal will be definitely a challenge for Bangalore’s bowling line-up.
M. Siraj (Bangalore): M. Siraj is a lead pacer for Bangalore in the ongoing season of the Indian Playerzpot League. The 29-year-old is currently the Purple Cap holder of the season, scalping 12 wickets, including a four-wicket haul, at an average of 13.41 and an economy rate of 6.70. Siraj has the second-best bowling economy rate this season. In the previous match against Punjab, Siraj was impressive as he scalped four wickets while conceding 21 runs at an economy rate of 5.20 in four overs. He also inflicted a run-out with a direct hit on the stump at the non-striker’s end. Siraj has a good pace and his ability to swing the ball both ways can make him a potential threat to Rajasthan’s bowling line-up.
S. Sharma (Rajasthan): S. Sharma has already made an impact as a replacement player for Rajasthan in the ongoing season of the Indian Playerzpot League. This season, Sharma has scalped five wickets at an average of 21.40 and an economy rate of 7.13 in six games so far. The 29-year-old’s nerve of steel was on display when managed to deliver the three yorkers in the final three balls despite conceding two sixes on the trot in the previous balls of the final over. S. Sharma has a good pace and can trouble batter by delivering the ball in good line and length. He will look to come up with goods in the upcoming match against Bangalore.
