Giant killers Rajasthan Royals won the toss and invited Royal Challengers Bangalore to bat first in the 12th match of the Indian Premier League.
Shane Warne-led Rajasthan Royals, who were considered as the weakest team after a nine-wicket loss to Delhi Daredevils in their opening match, stunned the favourites like Kings XI Punjab and Deccan Chargers in a spectacular fashion and would be keen to prove that the feat was no fluke.
Royal Challengers, with a loss and a win from their two matches so far, will be hoping to earn more points with Pakistani batsman Misbah-ul Haq joining the team to strengthen their middle-order.
Their top-order though seems to be a matter of concern with Dravid yet to come to terms with the quickest version of the game.
Rajasthan Royals jumped to fourth place after Thursday's superb win in Hyderabad and would be determined to keep at bay the Rahul Dravid and Co, just one step behind them at the fifth spot in the points table
