TOSS | Royal Challengers Bangalore Captain Virat Kohli wins the toss, opts to bat against Kolkata Knight Riders in Sharjah
Captains in the draw:
Virat Kohli:“We will hit first. On high scoring ground, pitching could get slower and slower; scores are going down in the last two games. There is no grass on the surface so it can get scratched. We trust our bowling, it’s important executing our plans, Chris Morris was a great asset, we have talked about partnerships, a good start will help us more. A change: Siraj enters for Mann, gives us an additional bowling option on a small field like this. “
Dinesh Karthik:“I’m happy I lost the draw, I could have hit first too. It’s important for the bowlers to believe in themselves, as happened in the KXIP game where they dominated us for almost 39 overs. Banton is a special player, he is a superstar in the making, he replaces Sunil Narine.“

Breaking news: Tom Banton received the KKR cap from his England captain, Eoin Morgan
Launch report:
“This wicket doesn’t have that glow that has come to be used so far here in Sharjah, it looks quite dark and means it could play a bit slower. There were a lot more effects in the last game compared to games that were played before in this place It’s just not a twist, but closers will have a role to play, especially if they use their variations. Overall, it’s good wicket and you have to respect bowlers. Pitch may not be a big factor today. “ – Kevin Pietersen
