Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to field first against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium,Jaipur in the 14th match of this year’s Indian Premier League.
Pitch report:
“The Sawai Mansingh stadium spins less than any other surfaces, there are some dry areas interspersed with grass. As we move along, the grass content is heavier. It will allow the ball to slide on nicely, should be some pace and bounce – this pitch will aid the faster men and you can score some runs as well, said Ian Bishop.
Here is what the captains said:
Virat Kohli:
“It’s never nice to start without a win, but we are excited about this game. It’s a long tournament, if you get on a roll, you can win plenty.”
Ajinkya Rahane:
“We have had three close games, should have closed it. But this is another opportunity and we are looking forward to it. We will bowl first, looks like a dry wicket.”
