Sanju Samson, captain of the RR, wins the toss and opts to bowl first against the DC
Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has won the toss and opted to bowl first in their 2024 Indian Premier League clash with Delhi Capitals:
“The pitch looks good but we are comfortable in chasing. We know about our qualification scenario but it is important to take one game at a time. Every game is like a knockout in IPL. I am not thinking about my selection in the Indian team for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 as IPL is more important at the moment.”
Rishabh Pant would have also batted first. He hopes that the pitch is the same for 40 overs. DC has been hit by injuries and some health issues but the team can't think about that as it is part of the game. It is important for them to play some good cricket against Rajasthan.
Delhi Capitals:
Rishabh Pant, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel, Shai Hope, Tristan Stubbs, Gulbadin Naib, Axar Patel Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed.
Impact Subs:
Salam, Kushagra, Praveen, Sumit and Lalit
Rajasthan Royals:
Sanju Samson, Rovman Powell, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, Shubham Dubey, Donovan Ferreira, R Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal.
Impact Subs:
Buttler, Sen, Kotian, Kohler-Cadmore and Rathore
