New Delhi. The IPL is restoring again after the India-Pakistan ceasefire. Two matches will be played on Sunday. In the first match, Punjab Kings will face Rajasthan Royals at 3:30 pm. The Punjab Kings, captained by Shreyas Iyer, will come down with the intention of strengthening their claim for the playoffs with another excellent performance. The Royals team has not been able to perform average despite the presence of good players in the current season. Returning to Sawai Mansingh Stadium after a week's break, Shreyas Iyer's team will expect to forget that bad dream of May 8. When the India-Pakistan struggle had to cancel his match against Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala. And the players were forced to return to their dressing room in the dark.
Punjab Kings team ranks third in the table with 15 points in 11 matches. Australia's Marcus Stoinis and Josh have agreed to join the England team again. But they will not be able to play in the first match of Punjab after the restoration of the IPL, which may make the team forced to change their batting order. The absence of fast bowler Marco Yansen, who was backed by Cricket South Africa, will cause the most damage to the Punjab team as they had a lot of impact by taking 11 wickets in the current session.

Powerful batsman after Punjab
However, Punjab has a strong party of Indian players in the presence of captain Iyer, opener Priyansh Arya, Prabhasimran Singh and Nehal Vadhera. And despite the departure of foreign players after India-Pakistan tension, the team has not affected much. In bowling, fast bowler Arshdeep Singh and spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who are in form, will have high expectation. Chahal has taken 14 wickets in 11 matches, with four wickets for 28 runs. With the arrival of New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jaymison in place of injured Lucky Ferguson, Punjab team can get balance against Royals, while Stoinis and Iglis will join the team after that.
Punjab team dependent on batsmen
The Punjab team will once again depend on their batsmen. Those who were close to demolishing the bowling attack of Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala and had scored 122 for one wicket in only 10.1 overs before the match was canceled. This performance will give them enough confidence against Royals. The hosts have already been out of the playoff race and ranks ninth in the points table with only three wins in 12 matches. The Royals team would like to win the last match in front of their domestic fans but for this they have to improve their performance as they have lost four of their last five matches.
Rajasthan cannot depend on Suryavanshi
For the team, fourteen -year -old Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored a rare innings by scoring a brilliant century in 35 balls. But every time the Royals team cannot depend on such personal talent. The absence of regular captain Sanju Samson, who was out of most sessions due to injury, has created a big emptiness in the batting order of Royals. Royals's batting load is now on Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ryan Parag and if Royals have to win in their last domestic match, then both of them will have to perform well.
Rajasthan's bowling shock
The bowling attack of the team has also suffered a setback. Because fast bowler Jofra Archer has decided not to return to India for the remaining two matches, which has already become more weakened by struggling.
The teams are as follows:
Rajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson (Captain), Ashok Sharma, Nandre Burger, Tushar Deshpande, Shubham Dubey, Fazalhak Farooqui, Vanindu Hasranga, Shimron Hetmire, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurlel, Kumar Kartikeya, Akash Madhwal, Quenna Mafa, Ryan Pargra, Khurna-Drain-Drain-Drain, Vaibhav, Suryavanshi, Mahesh Toricha and Yudhveer Singh.
Punjab Kings: Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Arshdeep Singh, Priyansh Arya, Payla Avinash, Ajmatullah Umarjai, Javier Bartlet, Yuzvendra Chahal, Praveen Dubey, Aaron Hardy, Harnur Singh, Harpreet Barar, Josh England, Kail Jamison, Marco Yanseen, Michel Owen, Prabhu Owen, Kuldeep Sen. Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Suryansh Shedge, Vishnu Vinod, Vijaykumar Vaishakh, Nehal Vadhera and Yash Thakur.
