7. Rajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson

The Rajasthan Royals team will also be without their premier batsman Joss Butler and star all-rounder Ben Stokes in the UAE leg of IPL 2021. Their skipper Sanju Samson had a good first half of IPL 2021. He managed to score 277 runs in 7 games at an average of 46.16 runs. His century against the Punjab Kings went in vain, as his side fell four runs short in the chase.

Sanju also had a decent run in the Indian Premier League 2020, which was held in UAE. He was the leading run-scorer for his franchise with 375 runs in 14 games, which include three half-centuries.

Rajasthan Royals who are currently fifth in the points table will need their skipper Sanju Samson to rise to the occasion.
