Led by the all-rounder, Arpit Vasavada, the Heroes are expected to unleash a new opening partnership of Hetvik Kotak and Divyaraj Chauhan.

Saurashtra Cricket Association, Rajkot Pitch Report

Rajkot's pitch history suggests an upper hand for the bowlers, but it supports the batters as well if batters spend time in the middle and play proper cricketing shots. A predicted average score of 170-175 runs could be a winning score at this venue. Hence, the skipper winning the toss will prefer to bowl first to have a target in sight.
