Dharamsala | Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and opted to bowl against Punjab Kings in their final IPL league match here on Friday.

Star off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin missed out due to a back spasm as RR brought in a few changes, including Riyan Parag, Trent Boult and Navdeep Saini in the XI while leaving out Joe Root, Dhruv Jurel and Ashwin.

Jurel was, however, in the impact sub list.

Punjab fielded the same XI.
