Rajasthan Royals' skipper Sanju Samson
With three games down, which brought plenty exciting moments for the global cricket lovers, Indian Premier League 2021's 4th match is expected to be a mouth-watering clash with enough firepower in both the sides, ie Rajasthan Royals and rechristened Punjab Kings, who will face each other in Mumbai on Monday.
While Royals endured a horrendous season last year with a bottom-placed finish with six wins in 14 games, they do enjoy a superior head-to head record against fellow perennial underachievers Punjab, who will expect a change of fortune with the new and young captain in Sanju Samson.
Head to Head in IPL : Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings have played 21 matches in the IPL so far.
