On Monday, April 28, Rajasthan Royals locked horns against Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh in IPL match 47. Sanju Samson failed to recover in time and Riyan Parag walked for the toss. Meanwhile, the hosts won the toss and asked Shubman Gill-led side to bat first. 

Talking about the team changes of two teams, RR have made two changes as Yudhvir Singh and Maheesh Theekshana have replaced Tushar Deshpande and Fazalhaq Farooqi. Meanwhile, for Gujarat Titans, they have handed a debut to Karim Janat.

RR vs GT: Captains' Thought

Riyan Parag (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "We will bowl first. Looks a pretty similar wicket to the one we played against LSG. A bit of low bounce. So, we have decided to bowl first. Everyone knows how to come out of this. We have had honest conversations around it. We are looking forward to this game."

Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans Captain): "We would've bowled first as well but I think it's a really good wicket. Bit of grass on the wicket which is always nice to see. Ya, it feels great but nothing changes for us. We want to take one game at a time rather than thinking what happened in the past."
