It is time for the toss. Gaikwad and Pant out in the middle. All smiles at the moment. Gaikwad calls tails, but heads it is. LSG will field first. Wicket is looking a little tacky maybe, says Pant, and he mentions they did not want to bat first on it. As a team, they have a lot to achieve, adding that they run on trust. Akash Singh is playing today, he says, and adds they are trying out a few things for next season. No running away from the way we have played, Pant quips, and he says they are frustrated as a team because they know they have it in them to make things happen. Two more changes - Samad and Mukul also come in, but he does not mention for who.

Ab toh gaye ham

Gurjanpreet Singh n place of Akeel.

And Spencer Johnson in place of Overton.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: It is a privelege to have, privalege to wear the yellow jersery. It is a venue where you have to bat and bowl well. There is a bit of moisture to start, but if we start well and get to 170-180 then it would be a challenging total. It is tough, you need to keep changing a lot, but it something which we cannot control but also gives an opportunity to the players, Urvil coming in, Mukesh coming in, it helps them grow and whenever we have a good squad, we deliver. It has been a must-win for a while now and we want to take it one game at a time.

Rishabh Pant: We are looking to bowl first. Wicket is looking little bit tacky, so didn't want us to go out there and bat. We have lot to achieve as a team. We are a team that runs on trust, we are trying few things for the next season, and give our 200%. There is no running away from the way we have played this season, but there are lot of positives. We know we have it as a team, but it hasn't worked, we have to improve each and every day. We have two more changes.
