April 28, 2015 19:57

Kolkata Knight Riders captain Gautam Gambhir has won the toss and elected to bowl against Chennai Super Kings.

The big news is that mystery spinner Sunil Narine has been dropped and replaced by 44-year-old Australian spinner Brad Hogg. The West Indian was yet again reported for suspect illegal bowling action by the on-field umpires during Kolkata Knight Riders' away IPL match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 22.

The defending champions made another two changes to their team from the last match as Pat Cummins came in for Morne Morkel, while Ryan ten Doeschate replaced Johan Botha.

Meanwhile, hosts Chennai are fielding an unchanged team.
