Shepherd, Madhwal, and Shreyas Gopal go out.”
Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson said, “We had a slightly different idea about the toss so it’s okay. You know the nature of the tournament, it’s a very long tournament, we had a five-day break, and we discussed our plans, it’s about focusing about the system and the process. We have played lots of games here; we know how the wicket behaves. MI are known to come back hard in the tournament, so we have to play well.
