The big news at the centre is that Yashasvi Jaiswal will captain RR today, no Riyan Parag.

Jaiswal wins the toss and opts to bowl first.

It’s a good wicket, dew factor will come in to play in the second innings. Riyan has a hamstring injury, hopefully he recovers soon. Big honour to captain RR,” says Jaiswal.

“Just focusing on enjoying the game and putting our best foot forward” adds Jaiswal.

Three changes for RR, Sushant, Pretorius, and Sandeep are in.

LSG captain Rishabh Pant says he doesn’t mind batting first.

“There’s still a lot to play for, we are a team with a lot of pride, will try and finish the season on a high,” says Pant.

Before he adds: “Shami misses out today.” Bishop asks, “What’s the issue with Shami?” No reason given by Pant, interesting.

Badoni comes in for Markram, and Mohsin for Shami.
