Shubman Gill: We wanted to bowl first, to be honest. There might be some dew around. Out batting collapsed in the middle in the last match. It should have been a comfortable chase otherwise. It's all about doing the simple things right. That always we talk about in team meetings. We are playing with the same team.
Ajinkya Rahane: Looking to bat first, want our batters to bat freely. We just want to turn it around, so batting first is a good option. If you are doing well, people will take well, otherwise they will critise. T20 format is all about momentum. One change, Seifert comes in for Allen.
Time for the toss. KKR's Ajinkya Rahane and Gujarat Titans Shubman Gill are in the middle for the toss. KKR have won the toss and opted to bat first. Tim Seifert replaces Finn Allen.
