Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has won the toss and elected to bat first against Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League 2024. “There has been no dew in the last three days. It is better to bat first over here. The mood in the camp is good, considering the way we have played in the tournament so far. Every game in IPL is like a knockout. It is good that we have qualified for the playoffs. The boys are feeling confident,” Sanju Samson said.

PBKS skipper Sam Curran wants to spoil the party of some of the franchises. “We failed to win big moments and that has been our story of the season. If we would have managed to close out a few matches, there were chances of us playing in the playoffs. We have done well in the batting and bowling departments barring in some of the contests. I want guys to play fearlessly in the remaining games,” Sam Curran said.

RR XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Sanju Samson (capt, wk), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Rovman Powell, R Ashwin, Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal.

PBKS XI: Prabhsimran Singh, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Rilee Rossouw, Shashank Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Sam Curran (capt), Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Nathan Ellis, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh
