In the first IPL match in Jaipur this season, Kumar Sangakkara chose to bat, like most captains have been doing in the tournament. Kings XI Punjab are coming off an impressive win, but are against a Rajasthan Royals side that has a formidable record at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
Both teams made only one change to their line-ups: Australian batsman Adam Voges, who can chip in with some left-arm spin, takes the place of Morne Morkel in Rajasthan's XI because Shane Warne expects the track to assist the slower bowlers. Punjab have brought back temperamental fast bowler Sreesanth in place of left-arm quick Shalabh Srivastava. Rusty Theron retains his spot ahead of the out-of-form Brett Lee.
Rajasthan Royals: Naman Ojha (wk), Michael Lumb, Faiz Fazal, Shane Watson, Yusuf Pathan, Adam Voges, Abhishek Jhunjhunwala, Abhishek Raut, Shane Warne (capt), Aditya Dole, Siddharth Trivedi
Kings XI Punjab: Mahela Jayawardene, Manvinder Bisla, Kumar Sangakkara (capt & wk), Yuvraj Singh, Ravi Bopara, Irfan Pathan, Piyush Chawla, Rusty Theron, Ramesh Powar, Sreesanth, Bipul Sharma
