Shreyas Iyer has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League 2024. “It is good to be back here after a long time. I have no idea how the pitch will play in the game against Lucknow. It was a flat track in the last game we played over here. Look, we are professionals, and it is a must to adapt to every kind of conditions and situation. Rinku Singh goes out and Harshit Rana comes in,” Shreyas Iyer said.

KL Rahul would have bowled first as well. “We would have bowled first as well but the pitch looks good and hopefully it will good for batting. It is a quick turnaround for us as played a game against Gujarat Titans on Friday and are back on the field again. As professionals we know when to switch off and on,” KL Rahul said.

Kolkata Knight Riders XI: Phil Salt (wk), Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana.
