SRH skipper has won the toss and elected to bowl first against KKR in Kolkata Both skippers after the toss: Pat Cummins: We will bowl. Looks like a good surface, but I'm terrible at reading it. They outplayed us in the final, but a bit of change in both sides. We've spoken about our batting, we've been at our best while being aggressive, but we can't be reckless. He has been amazing, doesn't get unfazed by any situation. Coordination is the key, but we do have a clear idea. Ajinkya Rahane: Looks good, I'm really happy with the pitch, we were also bowling first. It will suit our spinners, at home, you should get what you want, but we'll need to assess the situation quickly with the bat. We sat together, discussed how we can get better, but this is a long tournament and it was one bad day. Moeen Ali comes in place of Spencer Johnson. Regardless of all plans, we'll have to come out and do well in the middle. KKR playing 11: Quinton de Kock(w), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane(c), Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Moeen Ali, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ramandeep Singh SRH playing 11: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Aniket Verma, Heinrich Klaasen(w), Kamindu Mendis, Simarjeet Singh, Pat Cummins(c), Harshal Patel, Mohammed Shami, Zeeshan Ansari
Under the leadership of Ajinkya Rahane, KKR began their campaign with a disappointing seven-wicket defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore. They bounced back in their second match against Rajasthan Royals, thanks to a brilliant unbeaten knock of 97 by Quinton de Kock. Unfortunately, in their most recent game against Mumbai Indians, KKR's batting line-up crumbled, posting a meager total of 116, which Mumbai easily chased down.
Similarly, SRH has experienced a fluctuating start to their season. They began with a sensational performance, smashing a massive 286 runs to defeat Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs. However, their momentum quickly faltered, as they lost their next two matches against Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals.
