Captains View
Kane Williamson | SRH
We are going to have a bowl. I think it will play pretty well, the grass is short and potential dew factor, so we will try and make use of that. Most of the team has been here for a week to ten days and that has been really helpful. Really excited to get the tournament started. Every team is faced with the same challenges and it will be great to be get going. They (coaching staff) have been amazing, so much knowledge there to tap into and they are also excited.
Sanju Samson | RR
It is a special day for the franchise as seven guys are making their debuts. Our four foreign internationals are Jos Buttler, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Trent Boult and Hetmyer. We have played a lot of games here and know what is going to happen. It looks like a very green wicket but I am sure it will help both batsmen and bowlers.

Rajasthan Royals Batting
Jos Buttler and Jaiswal opens the batting attack while Bhuvneshwar opens the bowling attack. Bhuvi in the very first over dismissed Jos Buttler but the ball turns down as No ball and Buttler stays in crease.
The opening batsman made an impressive start and leads RR to score 58 runs for no wickets loss at the end of the 6 overs. Shepherd in the very next over dismissed Jaiswal and broke the partnership.
Umran Malik in his second over dismissed Buttler for 35 runs and draws the second wicket for the Rajasthan Royals. Sanju Samson and Devdutt Padikkal join hands and start to lead the team.

Player of the MatchÂ
Sanju Samson | RR
I think it was a different wicket than what we thought. The wicket was helping the fast bowlers if yoiu hit the typical Test match lengths. No long time goals. Happy to contribute to team’s victory.
I worked on my fitness. I chose the right scoring oppurtunities. Tried to spend time in the wicket. Leaders like Sangakkara help me a lot. A lot of cricketing brains has gone in to pick the right side.
This season we have come in with great dreams. Our owners take great care of us. Lot of good sides and we will take one game at a time.
