Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, IPL 2024 LIVE: Buttler's 58-ball 100 steers Royals to fourth consecutive win

Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, IPL 2024 Match 19 Toss Report: Rajasthan Royals won the toss, and skipper Sanju Samson opted to field in their 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Jaipur’s Sawai Man Singh Stadium on Saturday.

While the Royals opted to stick with the same XI that helped them thrash Mumbai Indians convincingly at the Wankhede Stadium, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis announced one change for his side — uncapped Saurav Chauhan making his debut in the Indian Premier League.

The Royals are one of only two remaining undefeated teams in IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders being the other, having defeated Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals at home in their first two outings of the season before thrashing MI in Mumbai.

Captain speak:

Sanju Samson, RR: We would like to bowl first on this wicket. Something to do with the opposition, it’s a fresh wicket, expecting some help for the seamers and expecting some dew as well. It’s a long season, people are taking responsibility and finishing games. We are going in with the same team.

Faf du Plessis, RCB: We were thinking of the same, it looks a good wicket, think it will remain the same in both the innings. We have one change in our batting line-up (Chauhan). For me it’s just a case of trusting our guys. We have been inconsistent, we get an opportunity to do things better. We are trying to find the roles for the players, we are looking for that. That hasn’t worked as yet. We haven’t delivered. Not many people know him, he has some serious amount of skill and batting power, looks like a nice and calm guy.
