Rajasthan Royals (RR) were the inaugural champions of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008, under the captaincy of Shane Warne. However, the team has yet to be able to repeat its success in the subsequent years. They have made the playoffs a few times but failed to lift the trophy again. On the other hand, Punjab Kings (PBKS) is a team that has never won the IPL. They have had some good seasons but must be more consistent to win the tournament. However, with a strong batting lineup consisting of players like Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Shahrukh Khan, and Harpreet Bhatia, PBKS looks like a team that could make it to the playoffs. In addition, they have experienced Kagiso Rabada and some talented bowlers like Rahul Chahar and Arshdeep Singh to lead their bowling attack.
Rajasthan Royals has a strong batting lineup with Jos Buttler, Yashaswi Jaiswal, Rovman Powell, Sanju Samson, and Shimron Hetmyer. They also have some experienced bowlers, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Ravichandran Ashwin, who can make a difference in the game. Their spin department is robust, with match-winners like Chahal and Ashwin leading the way. PBKS has an edge with odds of 13.0 to win the IPL 2024 season. However, RR has a chance with their strong batting lineup and experienced spin department. However, both Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings have a good chance of making it to the playoffs in IPL 2024.
While RR has a history of winning the tournament, PBKS is yet to taste success in the IPL. It will be interesting to see how both teams perform and if they can finally break their title drought.

Strengths & Weakness of RR and PBKS
|
Rajasthan Royals |
|
|
Strength |
Weakness |
|
Jos Buttler is expected to be the key player in the batting lineup of the team, with support from talented Indian players such as Jaiswal, Padikkal, Parag, and skipper Samson. |
The team appears to be a formidable force with no noticeable weaknesses, but their squad's depth is lacking, particularly for their strong batting order consisting of top-notch players who are difficult to replace. While Donovan Ferriera is available, it would be challenging to replace key players such as Buttler and Hetmyer. |
|
The team's captain, Sanju Samson, possesses exceptional power-hitting abilities, making their top-order a formidable challenge for the opposing bowlers. |
Indian star batters are irreplaceable in the squad as there are no backup options available. |
|
The Rajasthan Royals are also known for their strong bowling attack, with the impressive pairing of Krishna-Boult and Chahal-Ashwin performing well in the previous season. The team's fifth bowling option may be resolved with the addition of Holder in this year's IPL, making their attack even more well-rounded. |
The highly talented bowling lineup is also difficult to replace, with the RR team having several bowling backups, but none of them are convincing enough to substitute the main four players in the playing 11. |

Rajasthan Royals highest total against Punjab Kings is 226/6 |

Strength |
Weakness |
|
PBKS has a significant advantage in the IPL due to their abundance of strong big hitters. Unlike many other teams, PBKS has power-hitters dispersed throughout their entire batting order rather than just at the bottom. |
The main cause for concern among the team is the inconsistent form of their captain, Shikhar Dhawan. While Dhawan is a seasoned veteran of the Indian Premier League and has been the second-highest run-scorer after Virat Kohli, he has struggled to succeed in recent years. |
|
Their roster boasts players like Bairstow, Livingstone, Shahrukh Khan, and Jitesh Sharma, all of whom possess aggressive batting styles and healthy strike rates. |
PBKS have a formidable top order but are comparatively lacking in depth in their middle order and do not possess significant experience in that part of their batting lineup. |
|
PBKS also has a formidable group of domestic players currently in excellent form. Prabhsimran Singh, a Punjab batter, has performed remarkably in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Jitesh Sharma, a prominent domestic player, has even been selected for the Indian National team as a wicketkeeper-batsman. Meanwhile, young bowler Arshdeep has showcased his talents on the world stage by representing India in the World Cup. |
The team seems to lack a reliable spin-bowling option, with only Rahul Chahar available in that department. However, even Chahar has not delivered impressive performances lately, adding to the team's worries. |

Punjab Kings highest total against Rajasthan Royals is 221/6 |
