Coming to the match, Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to bowl. Speaking at the toss, Sanju Samson said, “We would like to bowl here first because of the conditions. There is going to be dew here. Each and every game in the IPL is important, we are grateful of the last two games and take the momentum forward.”
“It is great to be back. It is a very new team, new guys in the squad, we retained six guys but it is still a new team, we took time to gel together and know our roles. The wicket looks really good and will stay true. Hasaranga misses out due to personal reasons Farooqi comes in,” concluded Sanju Samson.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill said, “I would have bowled first as well. Looking at the past few matches, dew has come in during the second innings but we have batted first here.”
“We are taking it one game at a time and not keeping track on how many games we have won. If the top 3 or 4 are doing the job then I am happy with that.”
“We have had a really good home run and hopefully nothing changes for us, support from the fans has always been tremendous. No changes for us,” concluded Shubman Gill.
