Ryan Parag gives significant updates on Sanju Samson’s injury as RR has opted for RCB vs RCB

Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Ryan Parag won the toss and selected the first bowling against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Thursday. The match is being held at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. Handing in the Clash, RCB has been ranked fourth on the table of points with ten points out of eight matches, with five wins and three defeat. In contrast, Rajasthan Royals (RR) find themselves in eighth place with just four points, which manage only two wins in their eight matches so far.

After winning the toss, Ryan Parag said, “We will bowl first. The wicket looks a bit sticky and should be better later. It is now back to our morality, if we can give our 100 percent, the results will take care of ourselves. Sanju (Samson) Bhai is recovering and hopefully it will come back soon.

RCB captain Rajat Patidar said, “We preferred to bowl earlier, the surface has been difficult and unexpected this season and we will try to customize as soon as possible. We have to be good in shot selection. We are going with the same team.”
