As the much-anticipated IPL 2024 clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) about to get underway on Saturday, Sanju Samson, the RR skipper, won the toss and opted to field first at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.

While there are no major changes on either, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis confirmed they will have Saurav Chauhan, the 23-year-old promising youngster, to make his debut for the franchise.


Saurav Chauhan will replace Anuj Rawat in the playing XI, which means Dinesh Karthik will don the big gloves behind the stumps. On the other hand, RR kept the same playing XI, which helped them to register hat-trick of victories before coming to this fixture.
