On Thursday, Sanju Samson won the toss for Rajasthan Royals, asking MS Dhoni's Chennai to bowl first at Jaipur. The home team has brought in the leg-spinner Adam Zampa in place of an injured Trent Boult. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings have opted for the same starting XI that played against Kolkata.
Interestingly, the New Zealander seamer, who has a niggle, was also missing from the playing XI the last time RR played against Chennai. And, Zampa played at Chepauk, where he went for 43 runs in his quota of four overs and scalped the prized wicket of Moeen Ali.

Apart from that, both teams have made no significant changes. However, CSK's Rajvardhan Hangargekar and RR's Riyan Parag have returned as part of Impact Player substitutes.
The other Impact subs for Rajasthan are KM Asif, Kuldip Yadav, Murugan Ashwin and Donovan Ferreira. In contrast, CSK have gone with Ambati Rayudu, Dwaine Pretorius, Shaik Rasheed, and Subhranshu Senapati as their substitute players.
