One of India’s premier fast bowlers, Mohammed Siraj has built a reputation for swinging the new ball and striking early in the powerplay. Siraj remains a high-impact player in IPL and will look to play an important role yet again.

  • IPL 2025 Form: Mohammed Siraj Has picked-up 9 wickets in 4 matches with an economy of 7.75 so far in this season
  • Tactical Importance and Statistical Edge: Has claimed 5 wickets against RR in recent matches, including key batsmen like Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal
  • Ground Advantage: His ability to swing the new ball makes him particularly dangerous at Narendra Modi Stadium
  • Head-to-Head Performance: Has shown consistent wicket-taking ability with good economy (7.70) against RR.

3. Tushar Deshpande (RR)

Right-arm medium-fast bowler Tushar Deshpande is an excellent wicket-taker. Rajasthan Royals secured his services for INR 6.5 crore, and now as an experienced campaigner, he will be a key weapon in RR’s pace attack alongside Sandeep Sharma and Jofra Archer.

  • Tactical Importance and Statistical Edge: Has taken 6 wickets against GT, including dismissing Shubman Gill three times.
  • Match-up Edge: Despite a high economy (10.03), his knack for taking crucial wickets makes him valuable.
  • Surface Advantage: Has experience bowling at Narendra Modi Stadium with 3 wickets in 12 overs.

These three bowlers have consistently troubled key batsmen from the opposition and have proven track records in this matchup, making them the most likely to impact the upcoming game with multiple wickets.
