Kolkata Knight Riders’ captain Eoin Morgan has won the toss against Mumbai Indians and asked them to bat first in Chennai.
KKR started their campaign with a win against SRH while MI lost against RCB.
KKR have gone in unchanged whereas MI have brought in Quinton de Kock in place of Chris Lynn.
“We are going to bowl first. Looks similar to the last one, not sure if the dew will come in. We are delighted, we are trying to play aggressive brand of cricket. It's a challenge to continue in that manner. No changes in the side,” Morgan said at the toss.
“We would have fielded first as well. There was some dew in the first game against RCB, but the ball was turning. Last game we were 20 runs short, so we need to bat well. Of course you want to win every game, but we didn't play to our potential in the first game. We need to understand our mistake and learn from it. We got only 30 runs in the last 4 overs, that was our mistake. Let's hope we rectify our mistakes. Lynn misses and de Kock is back,” Rohit Sharma said.
