LSG vs KKR: Captain's Thoughts

KL Rahul: "We will bowl first. Not much about the conditions. I am not a good person to read it. We like chasing. The good thing for us is that we have been adapting quickly to the conditions. We have been playing on a couple of different tracks here. We have done well in adapting to it. 

Look obviously, there has been a lot of talk about the strike rate. I know the T20 game has changed over the years. I have been trying to attack the bowlers early on. Teams are eyeing 220 regularly. Quinton de Kock was injured in the last game. He is doing good. But we are sticking to our combination that played the last game. Mayank Yadav is also injured. So Yash Thakur comes in."

Shreyas Iyer: "We would have bowled as well. It's six in a row now (on losing the toss). Well, that gave us tremendous confidence, defending 170 at Wankhede Stadium, especially with five bowlers. That gave us a lot of confidence from within and also the bowlers stood up at the right time. We are batting first so, we are going with the same team."
