Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and opted to field first in the game against SRH. He also said that they were confident after winning the last game. He, however, is keen to do a bit more with the bat. He stated: 

“We would like to bowl first looking at the conditions and what Chepauk offers in the second half. We are trying our best to recover, the doctors are doing a great job. We are doing much better. We played 70% of our potential with batting and we managed to cross the line. We'd like to be better. Each and every venue, the dimensions change. We are well equipped to prepare accordingly. Same line-up.”

SRH skipper Pat Cummins on the other hand wanted to field as well. He stated that they want to be aggressive and added:   

“That's fine, we would have bowled. The guys will be aggressive, it's not going to work everytime, we are going to lose wickets sometimes. We were well below our best a couple of days ago. Another chance tonight, much of the same.”
