NEW DELHI: Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and opted to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants in their Indian Premier League match in Jaipur on Wednesday.
Jason Holder replaced Adam Zampa in the RR playing eleven, while Quinton de Kock continues to sit on the LSG bench.
Royals are playing their first match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in four years.
"We are going to bowl first. It looks like a really good wicket. We are very happy to come back to Jaipur and play after 4 years. It's all about how we react under pressure. We have a fearless attitude. We have one change. Jason comes back in for Zampa," Samson said after winning the toss.
"We would have bowled first as well. First game here. It's important that we start well and put a good total on the board. We've executed well in most games. We have had clarity with bat on ball. All three skills have been good. We are quite settled. We'll try to keep that left-hand, right-hand combination going. Quinny still misses out. He'll just have to wait for some more time. I have enjoyed opening with Quinton," LSG skipper KL Rahul said at the toss.
