Pitch report | Murali Kartik and Michael Clarke: Square boundaries are 64 metres on either side. 72m down the ground. Looks like a belter of a wicket. It looks great, consistent and will be really flat. Don't think 200 is enough on this wicket. Back of length and using those square boundaries will be key. This is a 25 percent black soil and 75 percent red soil surface. Six of the 8 games here have been won by team batting first here.

Players to look out for in the final:

Virat Kohli loves the big occasions. 2009, 2011, 2016 - He has been on the receiving end and he would be really keen to correct that. With an average of 55.82 at a strike rate of 146.54, the legend will be keen to make an impact not only with the bat, but also in the field where you expect him to give it his all whilst fielding.

Just over a year ago in Chennai, Shreyas Iyer helped KKR lift their third title. He isn't someone who would display too many emotions, but the fact that he has captained three different franchises into the IPL final over the last five years should skyrocket his confidence levels and of course with over 600 runs at a strike rate of 175.80, he will be keen to become the only skipper to have won IPL with 2 different franchises.

How good is Hazlegod? Remember, he has never lost a final of a big event in his career. He is averaging 15.81 with the ball this season - the best among the top 15. Having missed out a few games due to injury, Hazlewood's spell of 3/21 (wickets of Iyer, Inglis and Omarzai) in Qualifier one is a firm testament to not only his ability, but also the threat he poses at the start of an innings. Punjab Kings will be wary of his heroics last week and would do really well to not give any wickets to the Australian giant.

to RCB boys🧿

The players are warming up in the middle and the toss isn't far away...

Dinesh Karthik and Virat Kohli have address RCB's huddle with intense speeches. Shreyas, in good spirits, is at the pitch. The performances are done and the toss should happen on time. Sky's still blue, not many clouds.

Rooting for the both teams

They deserve me the trophy after 18 years

How can I watch IPL if it doesn’t come on my Tv and I don’t live in India?
