LSG come into this clash after having lost their last three matches. RR, meanwhile, are coming on the back of losing their last two games. Interestingly, LSG are yet to win at home in this season, while RR have been winless in away clashes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After winning the toss, Pant said with Rathi and Mayank coming in, M Siddharth and Avesh Khan have gone out of the playing eleven. \u201cWe have been in these conditions, still figuring out but we want to put runs on the board. Last few matches have been challenging, but we love the challenges.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe have to unwind and try and come back. We want some stability, so two changes in bowling. In the top stage, you have to trust all the players. All the love is there for Nicholas Pooran,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
RR skipper Riyan Parag said his playing eleven is unchanged. \u201c I actually told my boys that I want to lose the toss. I'm happy we lost the toss. I think we batted pretty well, we made some miscalculations in the middle overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut I feel the way Jaiswal and Vaibhav batted with the wickets that they had, I think that was brilliant. The message is that we have to play good cricket for 40 overs. Only then can we expect a win. Hopefully do that tonight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
