Rajasthan Royals missed out on winning the title last time. In 2022, Gujarat Titans won the title by defeating him by seven wickets. But in this season Rajasthan team is looking the most 'convincing' team. That is, the winning team of the league will be known on May 28, but on the date of April 28, the strongest team is Rajasthan Royals. The number one position in the point table also proves this fact. In this game of uncertainties, if one team has to be chosen as the champion today, it would be the Rajasthan Royals team.
The biggest reason behind this is the 'consistency' of the team's performance. Apart from this, the balance of the team and the excellent bowling attack make them a strong contender for the title. The interesting thing is that the run rate is also in favour of Rajasthan. At this time, although three teams have 10-10 points, due to a better run-rate, Rajasthan Royals are in the first position.

Rajasthan Royals' bowling is sharp
Remember the match against Chennai Super Kings on Thursday. Rajasthan won the toss and decided to bat first. Usually in Jaipur, the team likes to bat later. Because with little effect of dew, batting becomes easy in the second innings while bowling is difficult. But Rajasthan had so much faith in their bowling that they decided to bowl later.
The matter does not end here, experienced Trent Boult was not playing in the match against Chennai. But in the trap of his spinners, he trapped the players of Chennai. Chahal proved to be a bit expensive but apart from him, the rest of the spinners bowled economically and successfully. Kuldeep Yadav gave runs with an economy of 6. Ashwin spent 8.75 and Adam Jampa spent 7.33 runs per over. Together these three bowlers took 6 wickets for Chennai.
Turn up the volume. It's time to Halla Bol, again! pic.twitter.com/J5XnjALqPN — Rajasthan Royals (@rajasthanroyals) March 10, 2023
Rajasthan is not a star but a team of contributors
Rajasthan has never been known for its star players. It was always seen as a low-profile team. When the players of the team are selected during the auction, their star value is not given much importance. That is why on most occasions a new face appears in the victory of Rajasthan Royals. Look at the player of the match in the five matches in which Rajasthan has won so far, Joss Butler was the player of the match in the first match.
