With all teams having played their first game of the season, IPL fans are anticipating many incredible games throughout the entire season of 2023. The second week continues with the Wednesday encounter witnessing the Rajasthan Royals taking on the Punjab Kings who put on a sensational show against KKR. 

Let's take a look at the 3 most debatable contests between the players from both sides :

Jos Buttler vs Arshdeep Singh

The English batter has roared in the shortest format of the game, be it either for his country or several other franchises he represents across the world, Buttler brings justice to his much-hyped status as a superiorly aggressive opening batsman for whichever jersey he donned. His ferocious batting approach cannot be countered or resisted, his presence on the pitch remains to be threatening at all phases and the only way out is to get rid of him the responsibility would be on the shoulders of the young Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh. Singh has always produced something special with the new ball and so is his role while bowling against Buttler.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa vs Ravi Ashwin

The Lankan middle-order batter is an extensively aggressive batsman, who has a knack for scoring quick runs upfront. The left-hander is very efficient in facing pace and swing bowlers, therefore it is upon the RR spinners to get him trapped. The experienced Ashwin is expected to be the one to step forward in such situations to control the economy and often build extensive pressure on the batter as a result of which he is often dismissed.

Shikhar Dhawan vs Yuzvendra Chahal

The veteran Indian batter has been casting his excellence in the IPL for over the years. He is expected to show extreme resistance in this year's IPL too and will be more responsible after being appointed as the Captain of PBKS. To stop this excellent force, the Royals would bring in their ace spinner Chahal, as Dhawan is often found weak with his shorts against spinners and Chahal is moreover one of the most tricky spinners in the world.
