Guwahati: Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and elected to bat first against Punjab Kings at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
After winning the toss RR captain Sanju Samson said, “We’ll bat first in these conditions. This is a second home for us, we have spend quite a bit of time here. We spent two days to assess on whether there is dew, and there isn’t any. The team, the batting and bowling unit are doing great. Everyone is chill and we are excited to come out and play a great game of cricket. I’d be lying if I say no, the camp looks a lot more relaxed. We’ll miss Jos and Kohler-Cadmore comes in, and we might have Fereira as an impact sub later.”
PBKS skipper Sam Curran at the toss said, “Tonight we play a really good team, and we can spoil a few campaigns now and finish with some pride. We’ve had a really good squad but some of those games we didn’t win the big moments. We are about 2-3 wins away from qualifying. Tonight, we play a good side and I believe in character, I certainly don’t want to lose tonight and hopefully I can rub that off on the players. We’ve lost a few players, KG is out and Nathan Ellis gets a game. Brar also comes back into the line-up.”
Rajasthan Royals (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Sanju Samson(w/c), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Rovman Powell, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal
