IPL 2024: KKR vs LSG, Match 28: Who said what at the toss?

Shreyas Iyer – We’ll bowl first. Feels nostalgic, the crowd is electrifying and this was what we missed playing out of Kolkata, great feeling to be back. I’ve no idea about the conditions, the last game was a belter, but we’re professionals and will have to adapt. Bowling first, so Rinku goes out, Harshit Rana comes in.

KL Rahul – I would have bowled first, but this does look like a good pitch. It was important to recover ona short turnover, it’s just about making sure that everyone is rested and recovered well. Few changes – Padikkal and Naveen-ul-Haq miss out, Shamar Joseph and Deepak Hooda are back. Mohsin Khan is back as well
