'We'll bowl first. We might see some dew later. Usually, the wicket settles down a little later at night. Want to exploit that. We've kept it very simple regardless of winning or losing. Rahul sir has made it clear, we keep it simple, whether we go high or low. Three games ago, the message was we take it one game at a time. If we play to our potential, we know how good we can be. Just want to give everyone the freedom to play their game. Couple of changes, Hasaranga has a niggle, Kumar Kartiykeya comes in, Sandy bhai has broken his finger so Madhwal comes in,'Parag said after winning the toss.

We want to be fearless and not let fear of failure kick in. Don't decide how much we need to put on, have a set marker, but we need to analyze the wicket. Quite confident about batting on this wicket. There hasn't been much dew around. We go with the same team,' RR captain Hardik Pandya said.
