Toss Kolkata Knight Riders chose to bowl v Royal Challengers Bangalore

Dinesh Karthik's two-match streak of losing the toss was snapped in Bengaluru and he elected to bowl against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Friday. Knight Riders made one change from the side that lost to Delhi Capitals in a Super Over last week - Sunil Narine returned from injury to replace Nikhil Naik, who had replaced him for that match.

Virat Kohli said the priority for his team was to put away any desperation for a win and try to enjoy the game, as they came in to the fixture on the back of four consecutive losses. With that change in philosophy came a couple of changes in personnel. Royal Challengers went for "more balance in the bowling" and handed a first game of the season for New Zealand's Tim Southee, as well as to left-arm spinner Pawan Negi, who is among their most successful bowlers over the last three seasons. They left out Shimron Hetmyer and Umesh Yadav.

Royal Challengers Bangalore 1 Moeen Ali, 2 Parthiv Patel (wk), 3 Virat Kohli (capt), 4 AB de Villiers, 5 Marcus Stoinis, 6 Akshdeep Nath, 7 Pawan Negi, 8 Tim Southee, 9 Mohammed Siraj, 10 Navdeep Saini, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal

Kolkata Knight Riders 1 Chris Lynn, 2 Sunil Narine, 3 Robin Uthappa, 4 Nitish Rana, 5 Shubman Gill, 6 Dinesh Karthik (capt & wk), 7 Andre Russell, 8 Piyush Chawla, 9 Lockie Ferguson, 10 Kuldeep Yadav, 11 Prasidh Krishna
