Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to bowl. Speaking at the toss, RR captain Riyan Parag said, “We’ll be bowling first. Looks like a pretty good wicket, but there was a little cloud cover and little shower as well, so a little bit of moisture in the start, so we’re trying to extract that, get a few early wickets, and yeah, hopefully chase it down. Two changes. Hetmyer sits out, Shanaka comes in. Yash comes in for Bishnoi.”
Meanwhile, PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer said, “We would have loved to bowl first as well because I asked one of our team members, he told me that the wicket was basically covered for a couple of days due to bad weather, but other than that, I personally feel that any time you bat or bowl, it’s a great challenge and all of us are pretty proactive irrespective of the decision of toss.”
“We have one forced change. So, Suryansh (Shedge) comes in for Shashank and the other one is Lockie (Ferguson) come in for X (Xavier Bartlett),” concluded Iyer.
