- Harshal Patel: Harshal Patel has been among wickets in IPL 2024. In five games so far, he has picked up six wickets. In the last outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the right-arm pacer took two wickets for 30 runs. He will be looking to make the most of his form.
- Kuldeep Sen: Playing his first game of the season in RR’s last clash against Gujarat Titans, Kuldeep Sen hit the ground running.
