Rashid Khan | Stand-in captain: We would like to bat first, looks like a fresh wicket. Hardik Pandya is not feeling well and it is just to give him a break.

Shubman Gill, Gujarat Titans batter: (What are you putting your form down to?) Spending as much time as I can in the middle, that's what I try to do and have the intent to keep looking for runs. (On adjusting from Test to T20s) It's all about fine-tuning your mind, getting some practice and understanding your role. All of these factors combined is what matters. (On playing Sunil Narine) It'll depend on the situation: whether you're batting or fielding first. I don't think you can go in with a set plan especially against one of the best spinners in the world. (On the strength of the side) Everybody contributes. It's about doing those simple things and being consistent.

Nitish Rana and Rashid out in the middle alongside the match referee and Sanjay Manjrekar. Tails calls Rana but it lands as heads. GT will bat first. Rashid says Hardik is a little unwell and that they did not want to risk him today. He wants his team to bat well and put up a good total on the board on a fresh surface. Rana says he would have batted first as well, considering the conditions. Two changes for KKR - Lockie Ferguson and N Jagadeesan come in for Tim Southee and Mandeep Singh. One forced change for the Titans - Vijay Shankar replaces Pandya.
