Maharashtra vs Rajasthan Top Batters

Ruturaj Gaikwad to be Maharashtra’s Best Batter

Ruturaj Gaikwad, who opens for Maharashtra, stands out as their most consistent batsman, accumulating a total of 232 runs across four innings. Gaikwad's recent century against Vidarbha showcased his exceptional form, as he remained unbeaten throughout the innings. He has been the top-performing batsman for his team in three out of four innings, making him the obvious choice to lead their batting lineup.

Abhijeet Tomar to be Rajasthan’s Best Batter

Abhijeet Tomar, the opening batsman for Rajasthan, has been a valuable contributor to the team's batting with a total of 104 runs in four matches, ranking as the second-highest run-scorer for his side. With an average of 23.36 in this format, the 28-year-old is likely to continue as their top batsman in the upcoming game.

Maharashtra vs Rajasthan Top Bowlers

Satyajeet Bachhav to be Maharashtra’s Best Bowler

Satyajeet Bachhav has been a key contributor in Maharashtra's bowling department, having taken 7 wickets in just three innings. In the recent game against Vidarbha, he was particularly impressive, securing four wickets while conceding only 23 runs. Currently, Bachhav is the leading wicket-taker for Maharashtra. Given his impressive performance thus far, he is a strong candidate to continue as their top bowler in the upcoming match.

Deepak Chahar to be Rajasthan’s Best Bowler

Deepak Chahar has been sensational with the leather in hand this season, picking up eight wickets in four games for Rajasthan at an economy of 7.89. The 31-year-old seamer picked up three in the last game while conceding only 25 runs. We have backed him to emerge as Rajasthan’s best bowler in the next game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Maharashtra

Maharashtra are the clear favourites to emerge victorious in this match against Rajasthan. Their current position in the standings is stronger than that of Rajasthan, and they have a significant chance of securing a spot in the knockout stage if they secure a win in this contest. Maharashtra showcased an impressive batting performance in their previous game, with Ruturaj Gaikwad's century being a standout performance. As a result, we are confident in predicting Maharashtra's triumph in this encounter, especially given that Rajasthan is no longer in contention for the knockout stage.
