RR Subs: Abdul Basith, Akash Vasisht, Donovan Ferreira, Murugan Ashwin, KM Asif
“We’ll bowl first. Looking at the conditions, our side and their side. So we’d prefer bowling. The dressing room is simple, honest and we need to respect the way we are playing. We are starting with the same XI, might add someone later on,” Sanju Samson said at the toss.
Rajasthan Royals have been the team to beat this season with Sanju Samson’s side turning into a result-clinching machine. While the 2008 winners occupy the top spot, there remain certain frailties especially where their batting is concerned. Devdutt Padikkal and Riyan Parag have both struggled this season. A return to his home ground should help the former while Parag will be interested in the short boundaries on offer.
Rajasthan’s bowling has been impressive as ever with Trent Boult – R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal forming an axis. Add Jason Holder’s versatility and Sandeep Sharma’s form, and RR have a rounded attack. Sandeep especially has a great record against Virat Kohli, having dismissed him 7 times in IPL before.
