In Match 24 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bowl first.
While GT are coming into the contest after facing a 33-run defeat against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), RR have won all their four matches so far.
Reason why Kane Williamson is not playing today’s game
At the toss, Gill opened up about the injury to some of his team’s main players and Kane Williamson is one of the them. The New Zealand superstar has been replaced by Matthew Wade of Australia for today’s game.
“Will bowl first. In case rain is in play, you want to chase things down. Not easy to set up a playing XI when your main players are injured. Couple of changes – Matthew Wade comes in for Kane. Manohar comes in for Sharath,” mentioned Gill after winning the toss.
