RR Playing XI vs RCB: IPL 2022 Qualifier 2 Live Updates – Rajasthan Royals did everything well other than the crucial part bowling against Gujarat Titans. Prasidh Krishna and Ravichandran Ashwin had poor outings that cost them the match. But it’s now or never and the question is will Sanju Samson bring in James Neesham against Royal Challengers Bangalore? Follow IPL 2022 Live Updates on InsideSport.IN.

RR Playing XI vs RCB: Rajasthan Royals to TRUST its core, is there a place for James Neesham against RCB? Follow IPL 2022 Qualifier 2 Live Updates
Ravichandran Ashwin conceded 40 runs in his four overs while Prasidh Krishna went for 40 in 3.3 overs. Obed McCoy went for 40 for one wicket. Yuzvendra Chahal was average with zero scalps for 32 runs in his four. However, against a high-flying RCB in a do-or-die match, Sanju Samson is unlikely to disturb the balance. He is all set to trust the core.
RR Playing XI vs RCB: Is there a place for James Neesham?
- Despite possessing all-round qualities, James Neesham has been out of favours at RR.
- He has played just two matches, scoring 17 & 14 and bowled only against Gujarat Titans last month.
- The only place he can take is Obed McCoy’s. But the West Indian was excellent in his last two overs that somehow kept RR in the match.
- The other option is Shimron Hetmyer as he has been out of form.
- But in a big match against RCB, Sanju Samson is unlikely to disturb the balance.

As for other places, Sanju Samson is unlikely to make any radical changes. Jos Buttler struggled initially but hit top gear after 10 overs. Devdutt Padikkal played his role really well, taking the attack to GT bowlers.
It is Shimron Hetmyer’s form that is concerning. In the last two matches, he has been dismissed for single-digit scores. Add Riyan Parag’s inconsistencies and RR have a huge hole to fix in the middle order.

Sanju Samson could drop down to No 4 and promote Padikkall to No 3 to bat in the middle-overs if they lose early wickets.
In the bowling department, Prasidh Krishna was completely off-colour against Gujarat Titans. But considering he has delivered the goods throughout the season, he is likely to retain his place.
