After a dismal show at the hands of Mumbai Indians (MI), Jason Holder loses his place in the Rajasthan Royals playing XI for the clash against the Gujarat Titans (GT).
Australian spinner, Adam Zampa replaces Holder, as the Rajasthan franchise have gone with three quality spinners - Zampa, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Ravichandran Ashwin.
The pitch will assist the spinners as the game progresses, and to call in an extra spinner for this match can turn out to be a master-stroke by Sanju Samson.
