"We're going to be bowling. It was supposed to be a dry wicket, but it has been raining for the last couple of days, and it rained a bit today as well. So there's going to be a little moisture. We're trying to extract it, but it seems like a really good wicket. Feels great. I think we've been very clinical before the start of the tournament. My message to the team was that we want to be a really pure team that plays really strategic cricket, really smart cricket. So hopefully we keep on assessing and adapting as we have been in the first three games and hopefully come up with really good points." <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/ipl-2026-rajasthan-royals-skipper-riyan-parag-speaks-about-victory-over-gujarat-titans-23624153" rel="nofollow">Riyan Parag</a> said.
