Nandre Burger headlines South African interest as the Rajasthan Royals face the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, with both sides unbeaten.

Burger has played an important role in Rajasthan’s unbeaten start, providing early wickets alongside Jofra Archer. His ability to strike in the powerplay has supported a side that has won three from three and sits top of the table.

Rajasthan’s results have been built on consistent starts from their top order and measured bowling performances, including a controlled defence against the Mumbai Indians and a composed chase against the Chennai Super Kings.
