Jaipur: Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and elected to field against Rajasthan Royals in their IPL clash at the Sawai Mansingh stadium on Monday.
The hosts will be boosted by the arrival of Shane Watson, who replaced Kusal Perera. The Australian allrounder missed Saturday's game against Daredevils and will be eager to get on the field.
Also making the cut are Shaun Tait and Dishant Yagnik. Kolkata, on the other hand, brought in Shami Ahmed in place of L Balaji.
For both teams, it will be their second match of the tournament. Both have beaten Delhi Daredevils in their opening matches. The difference is that while KKR are the defending champions, Royals are once again the underdogs.

Rajasthan Royals: Shane Watson, Ajinkya Rahane, Rahul Dravid (captain), Stuart Binny, Brad Hodge, Dishant Yagnik (wk), Kevon Cooper, Siddharth Trivedi, Shaun Tait, S Sreesanth, Rahul Shukla
