Royal Challenger Bangalore won the toss and decided to field first in the match against Rajasthan Royals. The Rajasthan Royals decided to bring in Shreyas Gopal in place of Jaydev Unadkat.
Who says what?
Virat Kohli won the toss and decided to bowl first in the match against Rajasthan Royals in Chennai. Kohli said, “Going to bowl. Have seen results here whether there’s dew or not. Still continues to be a high scoring ground. Last night we saw even if you lose early wickets, just one partnership and you’re never far in the game. Been batting well as a group. Confident we can chase anything down.” the Royals skipper Samson said, “Will be a good experience for the batsmen to bat first. Saw the last game it can get tight in the end. It’s evenly balanced, we just need to play some good cricket. It’s all about playing with the heart. Ups and downs are going to happen in IPL. Important to trust yourself and trust your teammates. There’s nothing much to think about. Just back yourself. One change, Gopal replaces Unadkat.”
No Unadkat
Rajasthan Royals must be aiming for a convincing win this time and they decided to bet on their trusted member, Shreyas Gopal to tackle the star-studded batting of RCB. Shreyas Gopal has dismissed ABD four times in the IPL whereas he has also dismissed Virat Kohli thrice in 28 balls. The change is not that surprising once hence. The second innings will tell whether the Royals have taken the right call.
