RR, ranked second in the points table, are aiming to register the fourth straight win of their IPL 2024 campaign, while RCB have only one win in four matches so far and are in eighth place. RR are wearing a dark pink jersey, to mark a women's empowerment in rural Rajasthan initiative named \u2018Pink Promise\u2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After winning the toss, Samson said his playing eleven is unchanged, with fast-bowler Sandeep Sharma continuing to be unavailable. \u201cSomething to do with the opposition, it's a fresh wicket, expecting some help for the seamers and expecting some dew as well. It's a long season, people are taking responsibility and finishing games,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
RCB skipper Faf du Plessis said the visitors\u2019 have handed a debut cap to Saurabh Chauhan, a left-hand batter from Ahmedabad who doubles up as an occasional wicketkeeper and plays domestic cricket for Gujarat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe were thinking of the same (to bowl first). It looks a good wicket, think it will remain the same in both innings. For me, it's just a case of trusting our guys. We have been inconsistent; we get an opportunity to do things better. We are trying to find the roles for the players, we are looking for that.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThat hasn't worked as yet. We haven't delivered. Not many people know him (Saurabh Chauhan), he has some serious amount of skill and batting power, looks like a nice and calm guy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
