Bhuvneshwar Kumar walked out for the toss with Kolkata skipper Dinesh Karthik.

14:47 IPL: Karthik not thinking about World Cup

Kolkata captain Dinesh Karthik says he is not thinking much about the World Cup but rather focussing on the Indian Premier League.

The veteran from Tamil Nadu found himself out of favour as the national selectors preferred a much younger Rishabh Pant for the reserve wicketkeeper's slot in the final five ODIs, played against Australia at home, before the World Cup.

Pant, however, failed to deliver in the series against Australia, which India lost 2-3. That brought Karthik back into contention for the World Cup, which begins on May 30, with his rich experience and the ability to play the finisher's role in crunch situations.

"The lesser I think about the World Cup, the better for me. Every IPL is important for a player like me. This year's IPL is also important like every year's," Karthik said, on the eve of Kolkata's opening IPL fixture against Hyderabad.

14:41 IPL: Warner ready to show his class

David Warner will be the cynosure of all eyes when last year's finalist Hyderabad open their campaign against two-time champions Kolkata in the 12th Indian Premier League, in Kolkata.

The Aussie opener is back with the Orange Army after he was not disallowed by the BCCI last year following his involvement in the ball tampering saga in the Cape Town Test in March 2018.

Warner has always been in the thick of things with Hyderabad.

He led by example with a staggering 848 runs and helped them win their maiden title in the 2016 IPL.

In 2017, he topped the run charts (641) and smashed a scintillating 59-ball 126 against Kolkata.

Warner will miss his opening partner Shikhar Dhawan who has been traded with the trio of Vijay Shankar, Shahbaz Nadeem and Abhishek Sharma.
