“We will bowl here first. Long tournament, need to change according to the strength and weaknesses. Couple of changes for us – Boult replaces Kuldip Yadav, KM Asif replaces Murugan Ashwin. Root will bat at 4. It’s a long tournament, we have had some tough games for the bowlers, the morale of the team is high, not easy to forget close losses, but we need to move on,” Sanju Samson said at the toss.
To note, RR skipper Samson is playing his 150th IPL game. Speaking about his numbers in the franchise-based league, the right-handed batter has amassed 3834 runs at an average of almost 30. He plays at a good strike rate of 137.08 and has 20 fifties and three centuries to his name. Leading from the front, Samson will want to continue his good run in the competition.
