LSG win the toss and opt to bowl first
KL Rahul: We'll bowl first. There is a bit of dew, we have trained here and there is a bit of dew tha will play an impact. Wicket is a bit slow and hopefully we can put their batters under pressure. We played well in all three facets, but we have left the result back in Lucknow. We know have challenging Chennai is, everyone will be cheering for them. Same team for us. No need to quieten the crowd, they always encourage good cricket.
Ruturaj Gaikwad: Nothing different, but the coin toss is something I need to work on. There will be some dew later on, but you never know how the wicket will surprise you. You just need to go out there and express yourself, if the ball in in your area they just attack it. Hoping to set the foundation upfront.
The two teams competed against each other just three days ago, which will undoubtedly add intensity to Tuesday's match due to the familiarity the players have with each other. It is unlikely that there will be significant changes in the team combinations given the short time between games. In Lucknow, captain KL Rahul had mentioned that he had instructed his team to be ready to face a passionate home crowd supporting the opposition. If they can quiet down those loyal fans on their own turf, it will provide a significant boost to the team in what has been a back-and-forth season.
