Adding more to the bad-luck of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the Rain God appeared ferociously at the Chinnaswamy stadium on Tuesday, moments after the Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the toss and elected to bowl first. The play couldn’t commence as it was really pelting down which forced the ground staff to bring on the covers.

If the rain stops and the game starts at or before 9:15 pm IST, there are chances that it will be a full 20-over affair.

Earlier, Virat Kohli lost the 10th toss in this season after which he said, “I was trying to practice the coin toss, nothing seems to be working. I've lost 10 tosses out of 12.”

The Royals won the toss and elected to bowl first. They made just one change; Mahipal Lomror, who played the first game of the season, replaced Ashton Turner.

On the other hand, RCB made a couple of changes to the side; Kulwant Khejroliya came in for Shivam Dube to play his first game this season. Also, Pawan Negi came in for Washington Sundar.

Here are the teams:

Royal Challengers Bangalore: Parthiv Patel(w), Virat Kohli(c), AB de Villiers, Heinrich Klaasen, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Marcus Stoinis, Pawan Negi, Umesh Yadav, Navdeep Saini, Kulwant Khejroliya, Yuzvendra Chahal

Rajasthan Royals: Ajinkya Rahane, Liam Livingstone, Sanju Samson(w), Steven Smith(c), Riyan Parag, Stuart Binny, Mahipal Lomror, Shreyas Gopal, Jaydev Unadkat, Varun Aaron, Oshane Thomas
