Chennai, May 23: Having beaten pre-tournament fancied teams in the race for semifinals, Rajasthan Royals will now give rest to a few key players and field "fresh faces" in their Indian Premier League match against Chennai Super Kings here tomorrow.

Addressing a pre-match press conference here, Royals captain Shane Warne said the team management has decided to preserve a few key players for the knockout phase and test the bench strength in their last three matches.

"There are a few players in our team who haven't had many opportunities or not at all. We plan to rest a couple of players too and also try out a few experiments including in the batting order now that we have qualified for the semi-finals." Warne said his team will have to rest some players considering that they will have to play five games over the next nine days if they make it to the final in Mumbai.

"We now have opportunity to try out different players and assign them different roles, but of course, we would like to maintain our momentum which is very important. If we get to the final, then it will be five games in nine days," he said.

Looking ahead to play Mumbai Indians in the semi finals, Warne said, "Ideally, we should be playing against a team with home advantage. But we have a few tricks up our sleeves which we do not want to exhibit tomorrow as we might end up playing the Super Kings in the semi-finals or the final," he said.
