Yudhvir Singh Named In RR's Playing XI
The Rajasthan Royals have named Yudhvir Singh in the squad, who is expected to being some power in terms of fast bowling. The 27-year-old from Jammu would give the side proper depth in terms of bowling, where RR have struggled to make an impact.
With CSK and RR being out of the race to playoffs, both sides are aiming to end their season on a high. Both sides have been the bottom dwellers and have failed to impress in the earlier part of the season. They would be keen to make an impact before their tournament ends.
