KKR vs LSG Live Score: Here’s what KL Rahul said at the toss

“I would have bowled first, but this does look like a good pitch. It was important to recover on a 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.”

“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.”

KKR vs LSG Live Score: Here’s what Phil Salt said before the match

“I’m enjoying it, we’ve been travelling nicely in the competition, looking forward to another win at home today. I reckon it suits our line-up, we bat down to 9 and 10, everyone plays for the team and the positivity blends itself through the group. The conditions here are slightly different to the away games, I’m already feeling like melting, but the conditions will hopefully suit Narine and Varun. We’re one of the stronger sides in the competition, but we’ll need to play well right through, especially during the latter half of the tournament.”

KKR vs LSG Live Score: Pitch report

“It’s been 22 days since KKR played at home, 63m and 66m square boundaries while the straight boundary is at 73m. It’s very very hot today, the wicket looks fantastic, it looks good for batting and it should remain consistent. One of the fastest outfields in the country, the batters getting in can definitely cash in. Lots of runs on offer, the batters getting in can enjoy themselves, reckon Samuel Badree and Michael Clarke,” in their pitch report. 

KKR vs LSG Live Score: KKR’s loss against Chennai Super Kings

KKR’s over-reliance on their Caribbean ageing duo of Sunil Narine and Andre Russell was exposed by defending champions Chennai Super Kings when they lost by seven wickets in their previous outing. Narine (27) and Russell (10) failed with the bat and the team, who had posted two 200-plus scores from three matches on the back of the Caribbean duo’s blazing form, could manage an under par 137/9 at Chennai.
