🏏 IPL 2024 ~ Match N4 ~ RR vs LSG @3.30 PM IT🏏 - Page 4

There are very good players in both sides. Difficult to predict!!

The stadium is making Jaipur look quite literally like the pink city. The seats are flush pink, the sun is out. Avesh and Mohsin Khan were chatting during their warm-ups. Krunal Pandya, on his birthday, had a hit.

CricDude: "RR seemed to have a good auction, but on a closer look, the balance issues are still there, coz of lack of allrounders. If RR go for Jos, Rovman, Hetty and Boult, opposition teams can take on the two Indian pacers. Best thing for RR is to play both Boult and Burger. My XII would be Jos, Yashasvi, Sanju, Riyan, Jurel, Hetty, Shubham, Ashwin, Avesh, Boult, Burger, Chahal."

KL Rahul was out too, there will be eyes on him as he returns after an injury, he'd missed the second half of the last season too. The skipper is addressing the LSG huddle and just handed Devdutt Padikkal a cap.

Thanks for the thread

Yashasvi Jaiswal, speaking to the host broadcaster - I just want to try and give my team a good start. I'll just try and play the way I usually do. Very excited to be playing in Jaipur, we've had a lot of fans here and we'll hope to give them a good game, anything can happen in a game of cricket, but we'll try our best. I will just execute my process and enjoy my batting

Quinton de Kock - I think he's trying to keep everyone relaxed and calm, his demeanour has been chilled and he's kept everyone cool and calm. To be honest, I'm not too sure, I'm not part of the brain trust, you'll need to ask the big dogs in the team management. I don't know the reason (on why KL will not take the gloves), but we've been told he'll not keep for the first few games

Devdutt Padikkal has been given his LSG cap in the team huddle. With KL going to the middle-order, he should be opening in all probability

RR won the toss and choose to bat
