Captains View
Kane Williamson | SRH Skipper
We are going to have a bowl. After a few conversations with guys who have played here, we think it should be a consistent surface. Three changes: Nabi, Bhuvi and Samad are back. Warner, Suchit and Kaul miss out on this one. We know that as a group we need to come together and build on the positive parts.
It has been difficult, but we need to pull together now. This captaincy change is very sudden, so I just need to pick up and make the small adjustments which hopefully will reflect on the result.
The goal for the last half of the campaign is to improve our performances. There are many areas we need to improve, wickets in the powerplay is one. We have to do our best with our resources and it’s important we adjust to the conditions.
Sanju Samson | RR Skipper
The last match we played here was a noon game as well and it’s good to set a strong total. You only look for a good start in the powerplay and build up from there.
Two changes: Unadkat is resting and Tyagi comes in. Anuj Rawat is making his debut in place of Shivam Dube. We just want to keep it simple and express ourselves, see the ball and react accordingly.

OUT
A fine contest was just starting to brew but the experience of @rashidkhan_19 prevails. He bowls a quicker one, it skids and crashes into the pads before Yashasvi can lay anything on it.
