IPL 2024: SRH vs RR, Qualifier 2: Who said what at the toss?

Pat Cummins: That’s fine, we would have bowled. The guys will be aggressive, it’s not going to work everytime, we are going to lose wickets sometimes. We were well below our best a couple of days ago. Another chance tonight, much of the same. (Bowling) It’s an ongoing discussion, this ground is a little bit bigger. We’ve got Unadkat coming back in the team as well. Aiden Markram comes in.

Sanju Samson: We would like to bowl first looking at the conditions and what Chepauk offers in the second half. We are trying our best to recover, the doctors are doing a great job. We are doing much better. We played 70% of our potential with batting and we managed to cross the line. We’d like to be better. Each and every venue, the dimensions change. We are well equipped to prepare accordingly. Same line-up.
