Here's what Riyan Parag said after the toss
We were looking to bowl, it is a little bit warm under lights, should be better than the last time. Vaibhav the youngster comes in. It’s been kinda tricky, we’ve been doing small bits right but we haven’t been able to put a collective performance together, we’ve been having honest chats as a team. We love playing here, we know the conditions well, hope we can put that to good use.
Here's what Rishabh Pant said after the toss.
We’re going to bat first, wicket is looking dry so we want to take advantage. No dew so why not bat first. General thought process was to take the positives. We are lacking in small areas, want to improve on those and take the game forward. Was good to get back into form and contribute. I was not worried about, knew it was round the corner. Sometimes it takes time and I got time in the last game. Prince comes in for Akash Deep.
Pitch Report!
So far, only one IPL 2025 match has been played here being a low-scoring affair. Rajasthan Royals managed 173/4, but the pitch eased out during the second innings, allowing Royal Challengers Bengaluru to chase the target comfortably.
The pitch has shown signs of being two-paced early on, making stroke play slightly challenging. However, as the game progresses, it tends to settle down and become more batting-friendly. Historically, this venue doesn’t produce high-scoring encounters, with an average first-innings score of 179 since IPL 2023.
Dew could play a role later in the evening, possibly giving the chasing side an advantage. Captains could go for bowling first if conditions remain the same.
