IPL 2019 RR vs RCB: No Sanju Samson for Rajasthan Royals as Royal Challengers Bangalore bat first

Rajasthan Royals skipper Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and elected to bowl against Royal Challengers Bangalore in an IPL match at Swai Mansingh stadium in Jaipur on Tuesday.

Sanju Samson misses out for the hosts due to an injury and has been replaced by Stuart Binny. They have dropped Jaydev Unadkat and brought in Varun Aaron.

RCB have made three changes as they brought in Akshdeep Nath, Navdeep Saini, and Marcus Stoinis, replacing Shivam Dube, Prayas Ray Barman and Colin de Grandhomme.

Both the teams are yet to win a match this season.

The playing 11s

Royal Challengers Bangalore: Virat Kohli (C), Parthiv Patel, Shimron Hetmyer, AB de Villiers, Moeen Ali, Akshdeep Nath, Marcus Stoinis, Navdeep Saini, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj and Yuzvendra Chahal.

Rajasthan Royals: Ajinkya Rahane (C), Jos Buttler, 3 Steven Smith, Rahul Tripathi, Ben Stokes, Stuart Binny, K Gowtham, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Varun Aaron and Dhawal Kulkarni. 

Looking for the win

Royals have failed to tighten the screws when it mattered most. In all three matches, they were in a good position but could not grab the moments, losing to Kings XI Punjab, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Chennai Super Kings respectively.

The hosts face an equally hungry outfit in RCB, who too are looking to redeem themselves. Their skipper Virat Kohli had conceded that the defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday afternoon was "one of their worst losses".

Both teams will also have to deal with the soaring heat in the Pink City with temperatures nearing 40 degrees Celsius.
