Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League 2024. “The pitch looks good but we are comfortable in chasing. We know about our qualification scenario but it is important to take one game at a time. Every game is like a knockout in IPL. I am not thinking about my selection in the Indian team for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 as IPL is more important at the moment,” Sanju Samson said.
Rishabh Pant would have batted first as well. “I hope the pitch will play the same for 40 overs. We have been hit by injuries and some health issues but we can’t think about that as it is part and parcel of the game. It is important for us to play good cricket against Rajasthan,” Rishabh Pant said.
