The players are out in the middle and we're set to start. It's Andy Flower's turn to ring the bell this afternoon. RCB are in their 'green jersey' today, they usually wear it for an afternoon home game, but they don't have an afternoon home game this season.

Here are the Impact substitutes for both the teams:

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Subs: Suyash Prabhudessai, Anuj Rawat, Himanshu Sharma, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Swapnil Singh

Kolkata Knight Riders Subs: Suyash Sharma, Anukul Roy, Manish Pandey, Vaibhav Arora, Rahmanullah Gurbaz

Three changes for RCB - Green replaces Reece Topley, Karn Sharma replaces Vyshak Vijaykumar and Siraj comes in place of Shivam Chauhan. No changes for KKR. Vaibhav Arora could be KKR's impact sub while RCB have a choice between Suyash Prabhudessai and Anuj Rawat. Have you made your changes for the fantasy XI?

Shreyas Iyer - Last afternoon game here, we know how the wicket plays, we would have loved to bowl as well. It's stiflingly hot and we'll look to make them as tired as possible. We've tried to keep things simple, it's not about how you start, it's about how you end, just stick to the basics. We are playing the same team. It's importantto assess the conditions, execute our plans, then it'll go in our favour

Faf du Plessis - We will chase. This is probably a chasing ground, always has been. I'm a fan of abetting first when it'[s really hot, but the temperature did drop after an hour or so yesterday, unlike in Mumbai or Chennai where it stays very hot. The batting is so strong that a general score or 60-70 isn't considered great. We have three changes - Green and Siraj come back, so does Mayank Dagar. We know if we do a few things back, the momentum can be back and we do have the firepower.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have won the toss and have opted to field

Andre Russell: (On Narine’s hundred) It was something special for us as well. He’d been hitting the ball well in practice and had been getting close, it was good to see him get there. I just played the supportive role knowing the matchups against Chahal and being a left-hander, he did what he had to do. Seeing the celebrations, it was like we had won the game but when you’ve played with someone for so long, you cannot hide that emotion. We lost the last game but the guys have been very good in terms of their spirit. We knew we missed out on that game because of a few bad balls here and there, we know where we went wrong and are willing to come back hard. (On his batting position) Once you are winning, it doesn’t really matter that much. I love to be a part of the game, fielding in the hotspots where the catches come in, with the ball I always look forward to bowl. Most guys will say I enjoy my batting but I always ask what about my bowling. I’ve transformed into a batting allrounder but I never give up on my bowling. (On the challenge day games present) It’s all about managing your warmups, not to warm up and use too much energy. Normally I just look to get my body warm enough, maybe look to bowl 6-8 balls. You don’t need to hit 50 balls, maybe just 10-15 will do.

Mohammed Siraj - It's important to be comfortable, if you think too much, it'll lead to negativity and frustrations, so I always try to be as positive as possible, try to close all negative connotations around me. Please remove this impact sub thing (laughs), the wickets are already flat and there's nothing for the bowlers in it, previously, it used to be slow at times, but the batters now come out swinging at absolutely everything. My game plan is to be consistent, if a good ball gets hit, so be it. It was a long time that teams made 250+, but it has become such a common feature now (thanks to impact sub and the flat pitches). It's been a long time since I've played a day game, I last played a day game during the Test series against England, but we're professionals and we have no excuses. 

This is an afternoon game and that changes the dynamics completely. One short boundary at 61m, the other side is at 66m, the straight boundary is 73m long. It's very hot at 43 degrees and the pitch will suffer because of that, it's very dry. Most of the pitch looks even and flat, but there's one big chunk where it's extremely dry, the grass has been removed. It's around the spinner's length and they could exploit the patches. Otherwise, this pitch has plenty of runs on offer. With this heat, the captain winning the toss should opt to bat first, reckons Graeme Swann and Sanjay Manjrekar, in their pitch report
