Toss Report: KKR vs RCB
Kolkata: Sourav Ganguly, captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders, won the toss at the Eden Gardens and elected to field first in his team’s second outing in IPL 2010.
Sourav chose to bowl first as he felt the wicket will be slow upfront. “The pitch will quicken up in the evening. The outfield is quick, therefore we would like to chase,” said the Prince of Kolkata. “We have a good side with Laxmi Ratan Shukla and Rohan Gavaskar in tow now,” he added.
RCB skipper Anil Kumble thought the wicket looked decent and they would be able to get a lot of runs. “In this format of cricket you just can’t take chances. Not disappointed to loss the toss. We will bat first, put up a good total and put pressure on Kolkata,” Jumbo said. He added, “The wicket favours batters and we look forward to high scoring matches.”
