Hosts' enthusiasts are able to back their team


Ravichandran Ashwin: "New recruits in the side, lots of young talent. New season, new hopes. Don't think the wicket will change much, but we were also looking to bowl first. Hopefully with our bowling attack we can defend the score. As far as this bunch goes, they are very keen, and there is no baggage from the past (given that Kings XI haven't won a game at this stadium), so we don't care about the old records."

Ajinkya Rahane: "It's important to start well, and the preparation that we have had has been fantastic. We need to start well, get some momentum, and stay in the moment. We'll bowl first. Looks like a good wicket. We have had some practice matches. Won't change much, this pitch. It's all about staying in the moment and following the process."

Pitch Report
"Could be a little two-paced. Some dry areas, and some grassy areas, but don't be fooled - in sultry weather like in Jaipur, pitches play better than they are look like. It's going to be pretty good for batting. The key for RR will be Jofra Archer. He can be extremely effective at the death. He's got an extra 10ks compared to every other fast bowler and that'll make things tough at the death for the Kings XI." - Michael Clarke

Jaipur is all set for the contest


RR coach Paddy Upton: "Ajinkya Rahane has his own unique way of reading and understanding the game and dealing with people. His personality is very different from that of Virat Kohli so they have their own unique strengths."

The number games...



KXIP skipper Ravichandran Ashwin: "We all know he [Steve Smith] is a quality player and must have worked and prepared hard during the break but comebacks are not easy. He must have put a lot of efforts for a comeback mentally. I am sure he would look to perform and on the other hand we would look to take advantage of his rustiness."
