PBKS v RR: Who won the toss in today's IPL match

Punjab skipper KL Rahul won the toss and decided to bowl first. He informed that Aiden Markram will be making his debut for the franchise and would bat at No. 3, which means birthday boy Chris Gayle will be missing from action.

England leg-spinner Adil Rashid will also be making his IPL debut. Speaking after winning the toss, Rahul said:

"It’s a no brainer, fresh wicket, don't know how it will play. I personally prefer chasing. It's good to be back in Dubai. We've had a lot of learnings from playing here last time. Lot of guys were playing international cricket, but we are all professionals and have done our best to prepare."

Apart from Rashid and Markram, Ishan Porel has also been handed his Punjab cap.

For Rajasthan, Windies batter Evin Lewis will be making his debut for the franchise. He had earlier represented Mumbai Indians (MI).
