🏏IPL 2024: Eliminator - RR vs RCB at Ahmedabad @ 7:30PM IST🏏 - Page 8

Hetmeyer back in the side for RR

RCB unchanged

Samson: Would like to bowl first looking at the conditions and the wicket. There was dew last night. It's all about the mindset. Really excited to come and play in this fabulous stadium. Great energy here. Looking at what has cricket taught us. When you have bad days, need to have the character and confidence. That has been the challenging part - fitness and injuries. Hetty comes back.

Same team for RCB

"You have good days and bad days but when you are having bad days you have to show character. Fitness has been the challenging part. We are fortunate to have Hettie back. Rest is the same side," Samson says. Faf du Plessis says this pitch looks drier than yesterday's and says he wants to put on an aggressive start. Same team for RCB.

Faf: Would've done the same. Watching the game last night, there was assistance for the seam bowlers early on. This looks on the drier side with some fake grass on top. We've had that mindset right through. Focussing on your own skills, being true to the way you want to play. Last game against CSK was an unbelievable one. Less is more. People think when you get to the knockout stages, you need to be Superman. It's just showing the boys that you trust them. Same team.
