Rajasthan Royals skipper Riyan Parag has won the toss and he has decided to bowl first against Gujarat Titans.

RR have made two changes; Maheesh Theekshana comes in place of Fazalhaq Farooqi and Yudhvir Singh replaces Tushar Deshpande.

Afghan bowling all-rounder Karim Janat makes his debut for GT.

Parag said, "We'll bowl first. Pretty similar wicket to the one we played against LSG. Should be a good wicket, some low bounce, saw some dew last night so bowling first."

GT skipper Shubman Gill said, "We would've bowled first as well. But it looks like a good wicket. Some grass on the wicket. We are looking to take each game as it is, not looking at the past. Important to be ruthless in this format."
