Rajasthan Royals came back home to Jaipur to good news as they won the toss and chose to field first at a ground where dew was expected later in the night. They also welcomed back their best player of the tournament so far, Johan Botha, who replaced Shaun Tait. Ajinkya Rahane was included in place of Abhishek Raut.
Kochi Tuskers Kerala were forced to make two changes themselves. A bad shoulder kept Brendon McCullum out, and he was replaced by VVS Laxman. With a window open for another overseas player, Kochi went for allrounder Thisara Perera in place of Ramesh Powar.
