Mumbai:
Lucknow Super Giants leader KL Rahul has won the toss and opted to field first against Rajasthan Royals in the 20th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2022.
“We’re gonna look to bowl first. Even last game, I didn’t have any other reason. Just that we want to know what to chase and maybe, dew might come on later. Every game starts fresh and I’ve not had a great game here. It always balances out. Just want to come out and do the job for the team,” said KL Rahul after winning the toss.
“We’re chasing, so we’ll know what to do and I can pace my innings accordingly. We have a great team and that makes the team of a captain easy. When you have experienced players and about 9/10 of the players in the first XI are international players, it makes the captain’s role easier. I’m enjoying the captaincy. Two changes – Lewis and Tye miss out, Stoinis and Chameera come in,” he added.
“We did the same thing last time (batting first), so just need to put runs on the board and defend it later. Nothing can be done about the toss, our team is well-balanced to deal with that factor. We have two changes – Kuldeep Sen in for Navdeep Saini, Rassie van der Dussen in for Yashasvi Jaiswal,” said Sanju Samson, captain of Rajasthan Royals.
