What did the captains say? 

Kane Williamson: We are gonna have a bowl first. It has been a good wicket but the dew factor has been a reason. Team is improving and growing as a unit. KKR is a strong side. Sundar ain’t playing today but good oppurtunity for Suchith.

Shreyas Iyer: I am happy batting first. Finch comes in and Aman Khan comes in. Sheldon Jackson is in as well. There are a few injuries in the camp. We had a good break in between.

Pitch Report: Pacers are likely to get assistance from this pitch, at least the bowling first side. But small boundaries mean batters will go for big shots. So we can expect a high scoring game. Overall, this is a sporting pitch.
