Hahahahaha why dont u like him?

Dont know the reason 🤣

Strategy punt

• Barring Buttler, none of the other Royals batsmen had a strike rate of over 120 against spin last season. With him not playing the opener, things might have to be shaken up a little. In 2014, when the first 20 matches of the season were held in the UAE, Miller had the third-highest strike rate and the fourth-best average among those making more than 100 runs in that period. For far too long, Miller has been used as a finisher. Can he prove to be the X-factor player up the order?

• Jofra Archer has the third-best economy among all bowlers to have bowled at least 15 overs at the death. Given that the Royals had the poorest death overs economy of 11.3 last season, it makes sense to use Archer at the back-end. However, it wouldn't be too bad an option to bring him in the middle, especially to hustle Ambati Rayudu with short balls. Archer has dismissed Shane Rayudu twice and Watson once, with neither being able to score freely against his hit-the-deck bowling.

• MS Dhoni would do well to bring his spinners on immediately against Smith. Ravindra Jadeja has dismissed him six times in T20s.

Stats that matter

• Since their return to the IPL in 2018, the Super Kings have won three out of their four outings against the Royals.

• Since 2018, the team chasing has won 26 T20s out of the 46 played in Sharjah.

• Pacers have picked up 64% of wickets in T20s here since 2018.

• Since 2018, the average score here is 161, while the average winning score shoots up to 175
