However, PBKS also made a single adjustment, bringing in Nathan Ellis in place of Kagiso Rabada. With qualifying RR and disqualified PBKS facing battle against each other for the final time, the match is an unofficial dead rubber. RR wants to solidify their place in the top two, while PBKS wants to climb up from their current position of tenth.
Rabada, who had a soft tissue infection, had to return home via plane.
On May 15, Wednesday, the Indian Premier League 2024 match between the Rajasthan Royals and the Punjab Kings took place at the Baraspara Stadium in Guwahati. After winning the toss, RR chose to bat first. Tom Kohler Cadmore, who replaced Jos Buttler in the playing XI, was the only change Rajasthan made. Buttler’s patriotic commitments had caused him to leave the RR camp.
In these situations, we’ll bat first. We have spent a good deal of time here, making this our second home. We took two days to determine if any dew was there, but none was. The group, the batting and bowling unit, is performing admirably. We can’t wait to get outside and play some fantastic cricket; everyone is cool. The camp appears to be much more laid back, so I’d be lying if I said no (about obtaining qualification). When Kohler-Cadmore enters, Jos will be missed. Ferreira might be used as an impact substitute later, Samson stated at the toss.
“We have a great team to play against tonight, and we can end with some pride after spoiling a few campaigns. Despite having a strong team, we haven’t won the crucial moments in some of those games. We are not there because we failed to take advantage of the crucial opportunities, and we are only two or three wins away from qualifying. We have a strong team tonight, and since I value character, I want to win tonight as much as possible and hopefully pass that desire on to the guys. A couple players have left, KG is sidelined, and Nathan Ellis gets to play. At the toss, Curran stated, “Brar also returns to the lineup.
