PBKS vs RR Key Players

Liam Livingstone

Livingstone is back, but is off to a slow start. His first game after an injury gap has not gone well, but if he does manage to find his range Punjab will be very pleased, and will look a lot stronger in the middle.

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler has been a little slower in the last few games. With Jaiswal going really good at the other end he has been more than happy to play second fiddle. Buttler though, with a couple of silent games will be eager to push the pace in the upcoming encounter.
