Jaipur: Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and elected to bat against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL game here on Thursday. The Royals have brought in Adam Zampa in place of pacer Trent Boult, who misses out due to a niggle. Table toppers CSK, on the other hand, are fielding the same playing XI.
Here's what the captains of the respective teams had to say:
At the toss, CSK skipper MS Dhoni said, "This pitch has decent pace but the average bounce is slightly less. We are trying to build characters in our team (bowlers) and make them believe in themselves. Same side for us."
On the other hand, Sanju Samson, skipper of the RR side, said, "We would like to bat first. We like to stick to our strength, which is to defend. It feels really great to play RR's 200th game, feels great to be playing for 10 years. Would love to see some pink here today, but it's yellow and we know that the reason is (smiles). Boult misses out due to a niggle, Zampa is playing in his place."
