RR vs RCB IPL 2023: Why is Trent Boult Not Playing Today’s Match IPL? Check RR Playing 11

The big breaking news update coming from the Rajasthan Royals (RR) camp is that they are not playing premier left-arm pacer Trent Boult in their 13th encounter of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) season against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) taking place at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Things panned out in an ideal manner for the Rajasthan Royals recently in the ongoing 16th edition of the IPL as they defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by a convincing margin of 9 wickets in their previous match. However, Rajasthan Royals still need to win their remaining two matches to have a chance at IPL 2023 playoffs qualification.

RR vs RCB IPL 2023: Why is Trent Boult Not Playing Today’s Match IPL?

After having lost the toss and being asked to bowl first, the Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson revealed that Trent Boult is not included in the RR playing 11 for today’s RR vs RCB match. Samson further mentioned that it is completely a tactical change as they have included an extra leg-spinner Adam Zampa due to the slow Jaipur pitch. However, Boult has been bowling amazingly well for the Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023 season so far having taken as many as 12 wickets from 9 games at a brilliant economy of 8.15.

“Would have batted first as well. The pressure is on, we are treating this as a semi-final. To be honest, we have had just one flat game against Gujarat, the rest of the games we have played competitive games. There are a few niggles that players carry through the tournament, but the support staff have done a good job managing that. One change for today, Zampa comes in for Boult,” said Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson during the toss.
