Trent Boult to bowl first over for Rajasthan Royals.

We were thinking of the same, it looks like a good wicket, think it will remain the same in both the innings. We have one change in our batting line-up. For me it's just a case of trusting our guys. We have been inconsistent, we get an opportunity to do things better. We are trying to find the roles for the players, we are looking for that. That hasn't worked as yet. We haven't delivered. Not many people know him (Saurabh Chauhan), he has a serious amount of skill and batting power, and looks like a nice and calm guy.

We would like to bowl first on this wicket. Something to do with the opposition, it's a fresh wicket, expecting some help for the seamers and expecting some dew as well. It's a long season, people are taking responsibility and finishing games. We are going in with the same team.
