Sharjah: Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to bowl against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) encounter here at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
Speaking at the toss, Royals skipper Sanju Samson said, "It has been easy to bowl here. The way the wicket behaved here [the other day] was completely different to Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Four changes today, Livingstone for Lewis, Unadkat for Gopal, Rawat for Miller, and Morris in for someone."
On the other hand, Eoin Morgan said, "Would have obviously liked to bowl first. We put in a strong performance on a slowish wicket in Dubai, and we need to just put a good score here. Just because of the confidence within the group, we needn't look too far ahead. If we win here, those two points will take care of everything. Try to free yourself up, and try and play to win for the team. Lockie Ferguson is fit and he comes back in for Tim Southee. When we have the kind of depth and Tim comes and performs, it helps, but Lockie with his pace will come good on this wicket."
