Toss Decision - Captain's Comments & Reasoning

"We will bowl first. It looks like a good track. It is a big game, and we will have to play our best cricket and enjoy. We requested them to give good wickets, and we are getting good wickets. Chasing is easy over here because of the dew factor," Hardik Pandya said.

RCB skipper Rajat Patidar wanted to bowl first as well.

"We wanted to bowl first. It is a good batting track, and we will try to put runs on the board and then put them under pressure. We have played well so far in the IPL. We enjoyed playing against MI, but it is challenging. Duffy has replaced Hazlewood," he said.
