Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to bowl. Speaking at the toss, RR captain Riyan Parag said, “We’re going to be bowling. It was supposed to be a dry wicket, but it has been raining for the last couple of days and rained a bit today as well. So there’s going to be a little moisture. We’re trying to extract it, but seems like a really good wicket. Feels great. I think we’ve been very clinical before the start of the tournament.”

Meanwhile, RCB Captain Rajat Patidar said, ” This is our first away game. (Crowd cheering RCB) Thanks to everyone. I think you are making us feel that it’s already our home ground. So we all love you. Unfortunately, Duffy misses out in this game. Josh in the place of Duffy. Duffy also bowled brilliantly in the last game. But everyone knows Josh is an experienced player, specialist. But I think his presence will definitely put us in a good frame of mind, I think.”
