Toss Rajasthan Royals chose to bowl v Sunrisers Hyderabad

Rajasthan Royals will bowl first in their must-win encounter with Sunrisers Hyderabad in Jaipur. While Sunrisers come into this match nestled in fourth place on the points table - and with the confidence of their five-wicket win in the last meeting between these two teams - Royals are wedged down near the bottom of the table in seventh, needing to win all three of their remaining games in order to stay in contention.

Royals are without Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes, while Jonny Bairstow has also departed Sunrisers' squad, with all three players returning to England for national duty. Royals have also been without Jos Buttler since he returned to England to be present for the birth of his first child last week.

Liam Livingstone and Ashton Turner have slotted into Royals' XI for Stokes and Archer, while Kane Williamson is back for Sunrisers after briefly returning to New Zealand following the death of his grandmother. Wriddhiman Saha also returns for his first IPL match this season, replacing Yusuf Pathan and taking the gloves from Bairstow. Siddarth Kaul is also back in Sunrisers' XI, in place of fellow fast bowler Sandeep Sharma.
