RCB captain Faf du Plessis has won the toss and invited Kolkata Knight Riders to bat first in the Indian Premier League IPL 2024. He commented that the pitch appears to be in good condition and presents an excellent opportunity for a chase. While RBC's performance has not been optimal to date, the team has an opportunity to rectify this with a fresh approach. Cameron Green, Mohammed Siraj and Katn Sharma have been selected to return to the playing XI.
Shreyas Iyer would have bowled first as well. He said that the pitch will be slow in the first innings, which is why KKR wanted to bowl first as well. The team is familiar with this ground and has already played a day game here.
