IPL 2024: RR vs KKR, Match 70: Who said what at the toss?

Sanju Samson: Would have bowled first too. Last pitch was a lot drier, this one has a bit more moisture so we wanted to bowl as well. We made last minute changes. I think Nandre Burger might come in and rest is the same.

Shreyas Iyer: It’s a seven over game, we will get a fair idea of how it plays. Anukul Roy comes in.
