NEW DELHI: Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and opted to bat against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their IPL game in Jaipur on Thursday.
Adam Zampa replaced pacer Trent Boult in the RR playing XI, who missed out due to a niggle while table-toppers CSK fielded an unchanged XI.
"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, Samson said after winning the toss.
"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, CSK skipper MS Dhoni said at the toss.
