IPL 2026: PBKS vs RR, Match 40 - Top player battles to watch out for
The Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) have been two of the better teams so far in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. They will go head-to-head on Tuesday, April 28.
2. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi vs Arshdeep Singh
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi lit up the Sawai Mansingh Stadium with a 35-ball century against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, who went on to win the high-scoring game by five wickets. So far in IPL 2026, the young left-handed batter has amassed 357 runs in eight matches at an average of 44.63 and a strike rate of 234.57. He has hit 31 fours and 32 sixes so far this year.
Arshdeep Singh has taken only seven wickets in as many matches at an average of 37.29 and an economy rate of 10.04. However, he is a man for big occasions and could play a significant role on Tuesday. If he can get the new ball to swing, it will make things difficult not just for Sooryavanshi but also for his dangerous opening partner, Yashasvi Jaisal.
