Jaipur, May 1: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the 43rd match of this Indian T20 league. Delhi are sitting pretty at the top of the table and will be looking to continue their dream run in this tournament. On the other hand, Rajasthan, who lost a last ball thriller against Delhi in their previous match, will be seeking a revenge win. This time though they are playing at home, where they have a much better record. Watson is expected to join Rajasthan, whereas KP will be playing his last game for Delhi. This promises to be an exciting contest.
Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and elected to bat
Sehwag: We have played well in all the departments. Rajasthan is a very talented side and we need to play well. I always wanted to hit straight, but the bowlers are bowling a tight line in the tournament. We have a good team, Morkel and co have bowled well so far. I don't mind bowling first on this wicket. We have won quite a few games chasing and we will go for it.
Dravid: Last match was a tough loss, but the spirit in the team is good and we would like to get over with it quickly, Cooper is fractured unfortunately and will be out for 5 weeks. Watson comes back for us and that will be a big boost. The pitch is good for batting. We will bat first. It's a strategy which works great for us. Watson comes in for Cooper. That's the only change.
