Captains View
Shreyas Iyer | KKR
We’ll bowl first. The wicket looks amazing and hard. One side seems short and one is long, so that’s another reason why we want to chase. It’s something we thrive on. We just practise a lot in the nets, we’ve seen the videos and have had chats in the meetings. Important to execute what we’ve discussed in the meetings.
We’ve got one change – Shivam Mavi comes in for Aman Khan. They (overseas stars) have been excellent for KKR in recent years, it’s gonna be important for us that they perform but also the domestic players need to step up.
Sanju Samson | RR
We would have also liked to bowl first, but need to be ready to do both. Our team is well set to do both. New venue for us, and we need to understand conditions quickly.
Everyone has to contribute to whatever is the team’s requirement, the talk is always about understanding the situation and being smarter. Everyone is looking to contribute, but failures are accepted. We’re looking forward with a positive mindset. Three changes – Karun Nair, Obed McCoy and Trent Boult come in; Rassie, Kuldeep and Neesham are out.

Player of the Match
Yuzvendra Chahal | RR
I had to take wickets in this match to change the result. I worked on my bowling. I spoke to the coaches and the skipper. I was thinking of a googly but then I didn’t want to take a chance. Would have been a happy with a dot ball as well on my hat-trick ball. My googly was coming out well and sent it down to Venkatesh Iyer.
