Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium is historically known as a well-balanced surface that offers something for everyone. In the early stages, the pacers will find some zip and movement, particularly under the lights where Jofra Archer and Eshan Malinga can be lethal. As the innings progress, the track tends to hold up slightly, allowing spinners like Ravi Bishnoi and Shivang Kumar to find grip.

RR vs SRH Dream11 Prediction: Captain And Vice-Captain Choices
Captain Choice: Abhishek Sharma (SRH) Abhishek Sharma is in the form of his life, recently smashing 135 off 68 balls against Delhi. His aggressive approach at the top of the order and his ability to clear the Jaipur boundaries with ease make him the primary choice for captaincy.
Vice-Captain Choice: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (RR) The teenager has become the most dangerous Impact Sub in the tournament. Given he often bats with total freedom in the powerplay, he is a high-reward vice-captaincy pick for tonight’s clash.
