KOLKATA: Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) captain Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and opted to bat against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Eden Gardens on Wedsnesday in their match in 18th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL). Rahane said team vice-captain Venkatesh Iyer will not participate due to an injury. Manish Pandey will take his place.
“We will bat first. Looks a good wicket. Last two games we batted first and did really well. We want to put runs on the board and defend it. What’s important is taking one game at a time. Not thinking much about the future. Lots of learnings from the previous match, guys are looking forward to this game. You are bound to lose close games, but you need to be confident. If there’s a chance, we will try to give our best. Venkatesh Iyer misses out, Manish Pandey comes in”, Rahane said.
