Pep Guardiola says Cole Palmer is one of the players of the season
Mumbai, April 23: In match no. 35 of the ongoing Indian Premier League season, Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Gujarat Titants at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday.
In the first game of the weekend double-header, Hardik Pandya, who returns from injury, won the toss and elected to bat first against Kolkata Knight Riders.
After winning the toss, Pandya said, "Fitness is absolutely fine. We have to preserve energy and its better to bat first when its hot. Only the one change: Vijay goes out and I come in."
Meanwhile, Iyer said Knights would have definitely wanted to bat first as well. "Definitely would have batted first. (Three losses on the trot) The spirits are high. We haven't played really bad games and we've rectified our mistakes. It's just a matter of one game. Three changes: Tim Southee, Sam Billings and Rinku Singh come in," Iyer said at the toss.
Former champions Knight Riders will be up against newcomers Gujarat Titans. The Shreyas Iyer-led Knights will look be desperate to bounce back to winning ways as they head into the game on the back of three consecutive losses.
But KKR will have their task cut out as they will face an inform Titans. The Hardik Pandya-led side will head into the match on the back of two consecutive wins.
While Knights are placed seventh on the points table with four losses and three wins this season, the new IPL franchise have become the team to watch out for, having won five of their six games so far. The Titans are placed second on the points table, and a win would propel them to the top of the pile.
This will be the first time the two sides face off in the tournament.
