In addition to adding some top-notch reinforcement in the auction, Rajasthan Royals were able to keep their core group together, which led to them securing the runners-up positing in the last season, 2022. Their largest purchase on auction day was Caribbean all-rounder Jason Hoder, who they acquired for INR 5.75 crore. Under the captaincy of Sanju Samson, Rajasthan is at the top of the points table at the moment with an NRR of 3.600. Let’s see what the future holds for the team.

Punjab Kings (PBKS)

The KKR could not chase the target of 191 runs set by the Punjab Kings, who stood true to their name. They won the match by 7 wickets. With this victory in their bag, the team in Punjab is in high spirits and all geared up for another win. Shikhar Dhawan is the captain of the Punjab Kings team in the IPL 2023. Mayank Agarwal previously led the Punjab team in 2022, and KL Rahul led the team in the IPL 2021. Three wicket-keepers on the team, Jitesh Sharma, Prabhsimran Singh, and Jonny Bairstow, make it a power-packed one, guaranteeing a win to their name. Sam Curran was signed by the Punjab-based franchise for a record-breaking INR 18.50 crore, making him the most expensive player in the history of the competition. The team has retained most of its players from the previous season and thus keeps the core team steady and strong.

IPL 2023 Match 8 RR vs PBKS: Match Prediction

On April 5, the weather forecast indicates a little bit of cloud covering Guwahati. In the RR vs PBKS match prediction; the bowlers will receive some help in the opening innings. Because bowlers will have the upper hand, batsmen must choose their shots carefully to perform well. 

In contrast to most venues in India, the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is renowned for having a softer surface. It provides fast bowlers with lots of opportunities. Spinners must work for their wickets because the track offers fewer opportunities for them to score than other venues.

Rajasthan Royals (RR)

The Royals fell short by seven wickets to the Gujarat Titans, a new team, in last year’s championship game. The team’s leading run scorer for the season, with 863 runs in 17 games, was Jos Buttler, the team’s star batter. He is a native of the Virgo sign. Although Virgos are methodical and quick thinkers, they frequently feel stressed and tense due to their excessive mental energy. Performing exceptionally well under pressure is indeed a great feather in his cap.

• Jos Buttler
• Yashasvi Jaiswal
• Sanju Samson [C&WK]
• Devdutt Padikkal
• Shimron Hetmyer
• Riyan Parag
• Jason Holder
• Ravichandran Ashwin
• Trent Boult
• Yuzvendra Chahal
• Kuldeep Sen

Thus the fans can be assured that the team is in perfect hands for match 8 in season 16 of the IPL. Yuzvendra Chahal led the charts for wicket-takers with 27 takedowns in 17 games the previous season. Thus, fans have their hopes pinned on him for a successful game. 

Punjab Kings (PBKS)

In the 2023 IPL, Punjab Kings has taken the pitch with all of its enthusiasm. In the previous season, the team’s performance didn’t quite cause for celebration because it only scored 4 wins and landed 6th on the points table despite being a fairly dynamic team. As predicted by the astrologers, the compatibility of the players with the teams’ zodiac was not well refined. 

The expected playing 11 list of PBKS for the 7th Match of IPL season 2023 includes:

• Shikhar Dhawan(c)
• Prabhsimran Singh(w)
• Bhanuka Rajapaksa
• Jitesh Sharma

This year too, despite the team’s exceptional performance in the maiden game of 2023, the stars are not in their favour. As per astrology, the Gemini zodiac sign is home to the Punjab Kings. The team’s performance and chances to win the game will be closely linked to the ruling planet Mercury. It implies that the team’s chances in the world of cricket are not promising. Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, who is the team captain, was born with the Sun in the water sign of Scorpio. Therefore, His Sun is a Scorpio. These are in stark contrast to the team’s zodiac sign making it a difficult win for the squad.
