KKR vs RR: Why is Adam Zampa Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

After having won the toss and opting to bowl first, the Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson stated that Adam Zampa is not part of the RR playing 11 for today’s KKR vs RR match. Interestingly, he is not even part of the five substitute members out of which one can be used as an Impact Player at any moment in the game. Zampa has played as many as four matches for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2023 where he has taken a total of 5 wickets at an expensive economy rate of close to 10. With two premier Indian spinners in the side, Ravi Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, RR have gone with an extra overseas batsman in Joe Root.

“We will bowl here first. Long tournament, need to change according to the strength and weaknesses. Couple of changes for us – Boult replaces Kuldip Yadav, KM Asif replaces Murugan Ashwin. Root will bat at 4. It’s a long tournament, we have had some tough games for the bowlers, the morale of the team is high, not easy to forget close losses, but we need to move on,” said Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson during the toss.
