RCB vs RR Toss Update: Rajasthan ki badi chaal!
M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru mein IPL 2025 ka ek aur blockbuster muqabla – Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Rajasthan Royals! Toss jeeta RR ke stand-in captain Riyan Parag ne aur bina kisi jhijhak ke pehle bowling ka faisla kiya.
Parag ka toss ke baad statement:
“Hum pehle bowling karenge. Pitch thodi sticky lag rahi hai, aur baad mein batting thodi aasaan ho sakti hai. Sanju bhai ki tabiyat theek ho rahi hai, ummeed hai jaldi lautenge. Aaj ek badlav hai – Theekshana bahar, Farooqi andar.”
RCB ke captain Rajat Patidar ne bhi diya jawab:
“Hum bhi pehle bowl karna chahte the, kyunki is season mein surface unpredictable raha hai. Shot selection pe dhyan dena hoga. Hum same XI ke saath ja rahe hain.”

Pitch Report: Bounce + Mystery = Fun!
“Hum pitch ke beech-centre mein hain. 73 metre straight aur 64 metre square. Surface dry lag raha hai. Average first innings score yahaan 166 raha hai. Pacers ke liye thoda bounce aur two-pace behavior dikha hai. Aaj ka pitch thoda better lag raha hai.” – Eoin Morgan aur Simon Katich
