Toss

KKR won the toss and opted to bowl first

Meanwhile for KKR, the biggest worry has been their out of form openers. They have tried different combinations, but none has worked so far.

Rahul has led LSG from the front, amassing a staggering 451 runs from 10 matches, with two hundreds and as many fifties to be the second highest run-getter this season.

LSG are sitting in second place with 14 points and are on course to secure a play-offs berth, thanks to a stupendous show by Rahul, who has been their batting mainstay.
