18:50 Royals seek another Buttler show to clinch play-offs
Having gone off the boil in the last few games, Jos Buttler would be eagerly waiting to pounce on an inexperienced Chennai Super Kings attack in order to clinch a play-offs berth for Rajasthan Royals on Friday.
A win will take Sanju Samson's men to 18 points and help them steer clear of any permutations or combinations for a top-four finish.
Infact, a win will ensure a top-two finish for Royals as they will then enjoy a superior net run rate (NRR) of +0.304 compared to Lucknow Super Giants' +0.251.
In this backdrop, Royals would like to turn the heat on a lacklustre CSK, who can turn out to be 'party poopers' in their final game.
To prevent that, Buttler, who is currently leading the batters' chart with 627 runs, will need to do better than register scores of 22, 30, 7, 2 -- his contribution in the last four games.
