Why Trent Boult is not playing for Rajasthan Royals?
Trent Boult who took a three-wicket haul in their previous match against Delhi Capitals is set to miss the high-voltage match on Wednesday due to an injury. He will miss out due to a niggle. Boult's absence will be a big blow for Rajasthan.
At the toss, Sanju said, "We would have liked to bowl first too. We have started well but we need to continue the momentum. We have experience and the youngsters to do that. It has always been a pleasure to come to Chepauk and play here. Boulty misses out due to a small niggle and we have a couple of changes, you will come to know that. It's difficult to keep track with the sub rule."
In the three matches that he played so far in IPl 2023, Boult has taken 5 wickets at an economy of 7.33. He has bowled two maidens and has a BBI of 3/29.
