The Yellow Army called in for two changes in their lineup as Sam Curran made way for Jamie Overton after the latter’s poor outing in the two matches so far for CSK. Furthermore, in another change, they opted to go with Vijay Shankar in place of Deepak Hooda.
“We will bowl first. Looks a good wicket, better than the last game that was played here so we'll look to chase. So far so good, it was a quick turnaround, very little time for us but that's how the IPL is. We have to be ready. We have come here for the first time as a franchise, good to see all the love we've got. Two changes, Jamie Overton comes in for Sam Curran and Vijay Shankar for Deepak Hooda,” gaikwad said. On the other hand, the Riyan Parag-led RR went with the same XI.
