The fourth match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 will be played between a team that won its only trophy in the opening season of IPL Rajasthan Royals, and a team that has never experienced the glory of winning an edition Punjab Kings. Talking about Rajasthan Royals, this team finished at the bottom of the table in the previous season of IPL. Sanju Samson has been appointed as the new captain of this side and will be looking to successfully lead the team on to a triumph. Rajasthan have got an explosive opener in Jos Buttler. He can single-handedly change the game for them.
The Punjab Kings formerly known as the Kings XI Punjab finished at the 6th spot in the previous season of IPL, and will be looking to change their fortunes this season. This team has gone through a rebranding this year and is also expecting to transform their performances from the last edition. KL Rahul will be leading this side and the squad of Punjab Kings looks promising with the only issue being the execution.
It will be interesting to see who will be the second opener for Rajasthan with the best bet being Ben Stokes. In the middle order, the team has young players like Mahipal Lomror and Riyan Parag.

In the bowling department, the unavailability of their best pacer, Jofra Archer, can make things difficult for Rajasthan.
