GT vs KKR Live: Gujarat are unchanged!

"Honestly, we would have bowled first. I always feel the weather is getting a bit hotter, so there might be some dew around. We haven't seen it in the past 3-4 matches that we've played, but as we get deeper into the tournament, with the weather getting hotter, there might be some dew. We got the same team," said GT captain Shubman Gill.

GT vs KKR Live: KKR "want to play fearless cricket"

"We just want our batters to play freely, with freedom. The kind of tournament we've had so far, we've tried everything, chasing targets, batting first as well. I thought giving that freedom to the batters and then defending the total would be a good approach. We just want to focus on our strengths, play good cricket. T20 is all about momentum, winning small moments. Today, we just want to play fearless cricket and stay in the moment. Just one change. Tim Seifert comes in place of Finn Allen," said KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane.
