NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Nitish Rana won the toss and opted to bat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Hyderabad on Thursday.
Jason Roy replaced David Wiese and Vaibhav Arora came in place of Jagadeeshan in the KKR playing eleven while SRH brought back a fit again Kartik Tyagi into the mix.
"We'll bat first. Looks like a good wicket, hopefully we'll post a good score and then restrict them. We're not thinking too much ahead, just have to take it game-by-game. We have had injuries in many games, but they're back now. We're playing an extra batter due to the impact rule, and need to get those 10-15 extra runs. Two changes - Jason Roy is back in place of David Wiese, Vaibhav Arora replaces Jagadeeshan," Rana said after winning the toss.
"We would have batted first as well, we have tended to do well with a score on the board. We need to start playing good consistent cricket and tonight's an opportunity, looking forward to a positive outcome. Batting needs to improve, bowling has been outstanding, but we've underperformed with the bat. Couple of changes in our 16 with Kartik Tyagi back in the group. He was injured for a while and is raring to have a go," SRH skipper Aiden Markram said at the toss.
