LET'S PLAY!

"We're happy to bowl first. It's a similar wicket to the other night, the ball swung around a little bit, there's a shorter side on one side, but yeah we are happy chasing. Being an experienced player, the worse you form gets, the closer you actually get to a good score, so I'm hoping to turn things around and contribute to a win. I think we did a good job in the second phase, gathering momentum and playing some really good cricket. I think if we get past the challenge that SRH pose today we'll be in an even better space. Tim Seifert goes out and Shakib comes in to improve the balance on the all-round front since he contributes with the ball as well. We probably fell short with the ball the other night and Shakib fills that void."

“We're going to have a bat. It looks like a reasonable surface and it won't change much so we'll make use of it with the bat. It's an unfortunate position to be in but there's quite a bit to gain with growth of players, in difficult conditions, especially against a side like Kolkata. Umran Malik comes in for Sandeep Sharma just to improve the balance of the side. He's an exciting fast bowling talent.”
