Simultaneously, KL Rahul will move back to the middle-order, and won’t open in the RCB vs DC clash.

What did Axar Patel say at toss vs RCB?

“We will bowl first. My fingers are fine, protecting it, but if needed, I will bowl all four overs. Faf is fit, he’s in and Rizzie is out. We’ve decided on our order and KL will bat in the middle-order. Spinnerswiull have a role here, but the fats bowlers can also take wickets. They’ll have to play thee roles they’ve been selected to do, we’ve two good leg-spinners, they’re our attacking options, we have defending options as well, so we’ll have to play according to whatever the match situation demands.”
