IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals Win Toss, Elect To Bowl First Against Chennai Super Kings
This is the first time RR and CSK meet in the IPL since Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja swapped teams, while Riyan Parag starts his run as the former’s full-time captain. After winning the toss, local lad Parag said Nandre Burger, Jofra Archer, Donovan Ferraria (in Impact Substitutes list), and Shimron Hetmyer are their overseas players, with the decision to bowl first influenced by rain and overcast conditions.
RR have also given a debut to Bengal pacer Brijesh Sharma, who caught the eye of their scouts after playing in last year’s Bengal T20 league. “There's been a lot of rain here actually. So even though it is a red soil wicket, there's going to be a little moisture. So we want to try and extract that in the first few overs and then see how we go back into the game. It feels nice and very overwhelming (to captain RR).
