IPL Updates! KKR win toss, invite Sunrisers to bat first

May 25, 2016 19:34

Good evening and welcome to the coverage of the Indian Premier League Eliminator between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Ferozshah Kotla.

KKR go into the match as favorites, having beaten the Sunrisers twice in the league phase. Besides, they also welcome back star player Andre Russell.

The news is Gautam Gambhir has called it correctly and predictably elected to field first.

"It looks like a good wicket, that won't change much, and we will look to restrict them," reasons the KKR captain. David Warner, his opposite number, concurs with the decision.

"I wasn't sure. Pribably would have bowled first. But we are happy either way," he says.
