IPL 2021, RR vs PBKS Live Cricket Score: Punjab Kings won by 4 runs

IPL 2021, RR vs PBKS Live Cricket Score: Rajasthan Royals (RR) take on Punjab Kings (PK) in Match 4 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Monday.

Last season, RR finished at the bottom of the table and as a result, they released their skipper Steve Smith. The 2008 champions have named young Kerala's young Sanju Samson as their new captain. With the likes of Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Chris Morris, along with young local talent in Shivam Dube, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, and Karthik Tyagi, RR seem like a well-balanced side.

While KL Rahul topped the runs charts in the IPL 2020, he could not lead Punjab past the group stage. One of their weaknesses was their inability to finish the close encounters and that is something Rahul and Co would have worked on ahead of the 14th edition of the tournament.
