Both teams will look to keep the winning momentum in their favor.
KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer after winning the toss said, “We are going to bowl first. Had a quick chat with the curator, she thought the ball would spin too. (Morale) It’s fantastic, everyone is in good spirits. We have to continue the same momentum. It is important to be in the present. My role is to play an anchor role. It is always good to have a lethal bowling line-up. It is important to stay in the present. We must make sure we take advantage of the start. The bowling – Anukul comes in. I am seriously confused. I am given two teams.’
RCB captain Faf du Plessis said during the toss: “Same (would have bowled first). It’s a new wicket, looks good, you have to see how it plays in the first innings. It’s important to close games early in the season. All the big crickets adapt, it’s important to assess the conditions. We like the support and atmosphere. Same team.”
