Playoff hopefuls Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lock horns with Gujarat Titans (GT) as Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to field first in their IPL clash at the M Chinnaswamy stadium on Sunday (May 21).
“We are gonna bowl with the weather around. Just want to know how much we are going to chase. For us to win games and continue the momentum, I believe in good habits. Just want to go out there and play some good cricket. For us this is as important game as the next game. We are playing the same team,” GT skipper Hardik said after winning the toss.
“You always want to chase because of the conditions, but the team batting first has done well here. It is a new one and the guys are motivated for this one. Just one change. Karn Sharma misses out and Himanshu Sharma replaces him,” RCB captain said after the toss.
