Toss between RR vs GT during qualifier 1
In the crucial final clash of this season's IPL, Rajasthan Royals won the toss and have decided to bat first.
Sanju Samson: We will bat first. Looks like a good wicket, a bit dry and that's why we'll bat first, it's a used wicket and might help our spinners in the second innings. We're all positive and excited. Playing in front of this crowd is exciting. Same team for us.
Rajasthan Royals Playing XI: Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Obed McCoy, Yuzvendra Chahal
Hardik Pandya: We would have bowled first. This is fantastic to see so may people coming to support us. We have the opportunity to be a hero and this is the time for us. It does help, calms your nerves down, we have focussed as a group, be as normal as possible and play our 'A' game. People of Gujarat are very loyal, very excited for it. We have one change, Lockie Ferguson comes in place of Alzarri Joseph
