RR vs LSG IPL 2025 LIVE: Captain's End 

Riyan Parag: We were looking to bowl, it is a little bit warm under lights, should be better than the last time. Vaibhav the youngster comes in. It's been kinda tricky, we've been doing small bits right but we haven't been able to put a collective performance together, we've been having honest chats as a team. We love playing here, we know the conditions well, hope we can put that to good use.

Rishabh Pant: We're going to bat first, the wicket is looking dry, so we want to take advantage. No dew so why not bat first? The general thought process was to take the positives. We are lacking in small areas, want to improve on those and take the game forward. It was good to get back into form and contribute. I was not worried about it, knew it was around the corner. Sometimes it takes time and I got time in the last game. Prince comes in for Akash Deep.
