http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals vs Deccan Chargers – IPL 5 – Toss Report
Deccan Chargers’ skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KC-Sangakkara-c1779, has won the toss and will bat first against Rajasthan Royals in match 20 of the Indian Premier League 5, being played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, April 17, 2012.
Following a seven-day rest period, the Chargers will be looking to register their first points after losing their opening two matches. It includes a morale sapping last-ball defeat against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians, which was highlighted by Sangakkara at the toss report - adamant that the team has worked hard on their game over the past week and will play with controlled aggression rather than showing desperation.
Three changes were made to the away team, which sees Australian batsman, Cameron White, making way for South African all-rounder, Jean- Paul Duminy. The left-hander will make his first appearance in this season’s campaign. The team has further brought in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RD-Shah-c2298 Teja.
Their opponents have no such problems as they currently occupy the second spot on the points table. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229 said that he too would have batted first but expects the pitch to remain intact for the full game.
A forced change saw first-choice wicket-keeper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shreevats-Goswami-c2518, being replaced by Dishant Yagnik after the former picked up an injury 15 minutes before the game.
On facing Deccan’s spearhead pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ajinkya-Rahane-c970, after he became the first centurion of the current season, following his heroic outing against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The Royals have been impressive at their home and will be eyeing the top spot, currently held by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils. The pitch at Jaipur is expected to be a batsman friendly strip, with plenty of runs on offer.
