SRH vs RR: Captains Thoughts
Pat Cummins (Sunrisers Hyderabad captain): "(Decision) We will bowl first. (Does the experience of having played big games in his career help coming into a fixture like this?) Not sure. I guess when you have played a few (big games), you feel a little bit relaxed about it. What's more important is that we are coming off some good cricket, that might be a positive.
Riyan Parag (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "Yeah! Again, a little undecided, but happy to bat first, having seen the history of the games played here this season. Two games have been won by the chasing sides. It is a good time to change that.
Happy memories. Hopefully that continues. I am fit to play. Maybe a mindset shift. Even now, I think we don't have any other option but to win.
