PBKS vs RR: Captains' Thoughts
Shreyas Iyer (Punjab Kings Captain): "We would have loved to bowl first as well. I asked my team members. The wicket was covered for the last few days because of the weather. All of us are proactive, whether we bowl or bat first."
We have one forced change due to injury. Suryansh Shedge replaces Shashank Singh. Additionally, Lockie Ferguson comes in for Xavier Bartlett.
Riyan Parag (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "We are going to bowl first. It looks like a good wicket. There was some cloud cover and a light shower. There is some moisture at the start. We hope to get early wickets and then chase the target."
We are making two changes: Shimron Hetmyer is replaced by Dasun Shanaka, and Yash Punja replaces Ravi Bishnoi.
