Toss: RR has opted to bat

Jason Roy is at the top for David Warner. Pandey, Kedar miss out. Priyam Garg and Abhishek Sharma are playing. Siddhart Kaul replaces injured Khaleel. Today, there is something fresh. There are a lot of changes. So, the youngsters must come in and stick to their strengths. As a unit, we do want to be putting performances together.
