Jaipur, Apr 23: Hello and Welcome to the live coverage of the game between Rajasthan and Bangalore. The last time these two teams met in Bangalore, Ajinkya Rahane hit a magnificent hundred and led the visitors to a win. RCB will look to avenge that defeat, this time in Jaipur, which has been RR's fortress. Stay tuned for the toss and team news.
Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and elected to field
Dravid: It's a good thing sometimes that these games come thick and fast. There isn't much pressure for a team like ours, the good thing is that we are the underdogs on every occasion. We have some good experience in the team so there is a lot of sharing of thoughts and ideas. That's what is good about the IPL, a lot of young players get to share the dressing rooms with experienced cricketers. There seems to be a little bit of dew in the outfield so we will be happy to chase. Pankaj Singh comes back into the squad today.
Vettori: The bowling and fielding is getting better as we go along. The wicket has changed a lot from last year, it has become a good batting surface. It is always a test as a spinner here because of the size of the boundaries and the wickets.There's been some good scores here but we know it is going to be tough to defend. Dilshan comes back in and so does Appanna.
