I would have bowled first, but this does look like a good pitch. It was important to recover ona short turnover, it's just about making sure that everyone is rested and recovered well. Few changes - Padikkal and Naveen-ul-Haq miss out, Shamar Joseph and Deepak Hooda are back. Mohsin Khan is back as well

LSG captain KL Rahul

15:12 (IST) Apr 14

We'll bowl first. Feels nostalgic, the crowd is electrifying and this was what we missed playing out of Kolkata, great feeling to be back. I've no idea about the conditions, the last game was a belter, but we're professionals and will have to adapt. Bowling first, so Rinku goes out, Harshit Rana comes in.

KKR vs LSG Live: A little bit about the weather
Even though the weather in Kolkata has been unpredictable of late, the sufferings of tropical summer are creeping into the daily life. An April Sunday afternoon can be quite hot and humid. And a well-contested T20 match starting at 3.30 pm holds enough promises of fireworks to raise the temperature in the Eden cauldron.
14:06 (IST) Apr 14
LSG have all bases covered despite last-match defeat
LSG would be quite prepared to counter KKR's strategy and have the right kind of arsenal in Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran among others. In case there is turn, Ravi Bishnoi and Krunal Pandya are there to exploit, and KKR have shown their fallibility to spin.
13:57 (IST) Apr 14
KKR vs LSG: Will Mitchell Starc live up to his price tag?
The focus will also be on Mitchell Starc, who has an enormous price tag to live up to. Twenty20 is not Starc's favourite format, yet KKR gambled on him and would be expecting him to deliver, particularly at the death.

LSG eye return to winning ways
Their opponents LSG too have three wins, but would be coming here after a defeat on Friday. They too would be keen to get their campaign back on track.
12:58 (IST) Apr 14
KKR on their toes
After a great start, which saw them winning three matches, KKR were handed the realty check by Chennai Super Kings. Although they would not be unhappy with three wins and a loss so far, the defeat to CSK showed that their strong batting lineup can be vulnerable too.
